Morning General Session — The Homeland

We’ll start in Aurora, Colorado, our second featured 2025 Great American Defense Community, then share ways to get involved in ADC’s 50th Anniversary. Our featured panel, “The Homeland Is No Longer a Sanctuary,” examines how cyber operations, unmanned systems, and persistent surveillance are increasing risks to U.S. installations and the civilian infrastructure they rely on. With community leaders and expert analysts, we’ll outline the emerging threat landscape and the growing role defense communities play in protecting missions, forces, assets, and critical infrastructure at home.
