Experience is the best teacher – so Anticipatory Intelligence undergraduates, graduates, and professionals regularly interface with subject matter experts and leadership figures operating at the international, national, corporate, and individual security levels on real-world problem sets. Anticipatory Intelligence speaker events, workshops, and field experiences allow students and affiliates to engage with academic, military, government, and industry leaders across a broad spectrum of issues and glean insights from a diverse range of perspectives. Events that are open to the public will be publicized on the CAI website homepage.
