Information for CMMC Con 2020 showcasing a speaker

CMMC Con 2020 Speaker Spotlight – Dr. Robert Spalding, BRIG GEN, USAF (RET)

CyberSheath is pleased to introduce CMMC Con 2020 attendees to one of our keynote speakers and CMMC discussion panelists, retired Brigadier General Dr. Robert Spalding. As emphasized by his experience, Dr. Spalding is an expert on national security and highly-qualified to speak on China’s role in the theft of intellectual property across the defense industrial base. Far too often, the conversation on CMMC is mired in legislative workings, never addressing the “why” behind the need for CMMC in the first place. We felt the “why” is an often-overlooked agenda item and could think of no better speaker to address this topic than Dr. Spalding.

Dr. Spalding has served in senior positions of strategy and diplomacy within the Defense and State Departments for more than 26 years, retiring as a brigadier general. The chief architect for the Trump Administration’s widely praised National Security Strategy (NSS), and the Senior Director for Strategy to the President at the National Security Council, Dr. Spalding, is a national security expert, patriot, and entrepreneur. We are thrilled to have him at CMMC Con 2020 as our honored guest.

His work has been published in The Washington Post, The Washington Times, Foreign Affairs, The American Interest, War on the Rocks, FedTech Magazine, Defense One, The Diplomat, and other edited volumes. His Air Power Journal article on America’s Two Air Forces is frequently used in the West Point curriculum.

Dr. Spalding is a Life Member of the Council on Foreign Relations. He has lectured globally, including engagements at the Naval War College, National Defense University, Air War College, Columbia University, S. Rajaratnam School of International Studies in Singapore, Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, and other Professional Military Educational institutions. Spalding received his Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in Agricultural Business from California State University, Fresno, and holds a doctorate in economics and mathematics from the University of Missouri, Kansas City. He was a distinguished graduate of the Defense Language Institute in Monterey and is fluent in Chinese Mandarin.

Please join us on November 18th for the LIVE session(s) with Dr. Spalding. Through the liberal use of vignettes and examples, he will eloquently detail the modern threat posed by China to the US Defense Industrial Base. Register Now
