PLACE: IBM platform
The 2020 Security Jam is a three-day virtual global brainstorm on international security challenges, hosted by IBM and coordinated by The Partnership for Peace Consortium.
GLOBSEC is delighted to collaborate with these partners as well as others involved, including the United States Department of Defence, NATO Defence College, Friends of Europe, the Center for a New American Security (CNAS), Center for Strategic & International Studies (CSIS) and George C Marshall Center.
TOPIC
This year’s Transatlantic Security Jam focuses on the overarching topic of ‘Securing the Post-COVID Future’. This massive global brainstorm, to be held entirely online, brings together hundreds of experts from all over the world, from politics and the military to civil society organisations and universities, the media and business via written contributions and interactions. The 2020 Transatlantic Jam will feed into a report summarizing the attitudes, perceptions and innovative ideas of our jammers on how to secure the Post-COVID future. Participants in the forums will interact directly with VIPs and speakers from around the world, The Jam’s top recommendations and its in-depth report will be distributed to leaders around the globe.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
The Security Jam will be divided into 6 discussion forums. Conversations will be moderated continuously by think-tankers and experts from around the world. Debates will be broad in nature for the first day, after which moderators will steer the discussions towards concrete recommendations by the end of the three-day online event. Moderators use the in-depth data mining tools of the Jam platform to identify the emerging idea and leading Jammers.
