Location: Online and in-person (College Park, MD)
START, in collaboration with the National Capital Chapter of ASIS International, Maryland Democracy Initiative, and Axis Communications, will co-host a hybrid event on "Election Security & Resilience." The day-long event will feature morning panel discussions with experts in election security, including College of Education Professor and MDI Team Member Doug Lombardi, and an afternoon interactive exercise. The in-person event will have limited capacity, and the morning panel discussions will also be livestreamed. Discussions will focus on physical, cyber, and mis/disinformation threats to the upcoming U.S. elections, as well as strategies for building resilience in the face of these threats. Registration is required for both in-person and online participation.
