In this time of heightened security, we want to bring an exceptional geopolitical speaker to your attention. America’s former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper<\/b><\/a> is one of the most experienced speakers currently on the circuit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He will be in Europe this autumn and will therefore be accepting speaking dates at a reduced rate. Director Clapper retired earlier this year, so his insight into geopolitics, international relations, and security draws on his very recent position at the top of the U.S. government. Director Clapper was in fact the man who delivered President Obama\u2019s daily intelligence briefing each morning for seven years.<\/p>\n

Director Clapper is able to expertly discuss North Korea, Russia, the Middle East, as well as pressing European issues including Brexit and terrorism. He has been on the media frequently as of late discussing these issues, and is a national security analyst for CNN.<\/p>\n
