The George T. Kalaris Intelligence Conference aims to connect government, academia, media, and the private sector through an intellectually rich and stimulating lineup of events and discussion about the diverse, and sometimes divergent, skills and perspectives needed in the national security community.

The 2019 Kalaris Intelligence Conference on Artificial Intelligence and National Security is jointly organized by the Center for Security Studies and the Center for Security and Emerging Technology, both of which are housed within the Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University, and took place on September 25, 2019 at Georgetown University.
