Greetings,
We’re thrilled to bring you the November issue of True North, highlighting the insights from the recent Anchorage Security and Defense Conference and more!
ASDC 2024 explored critical topics such as geostrategic challenges in the Arctic, emerging threats, and opportunities for collaboration in this vital region. With engaging keynotes, expert panel discussions, and dynamic networking opportunities, the event underscored the importance of advancing the Department of Defense’s Arctic priorities.
This month’s True North explores the key takeaways from the conference, including strategies to address Arctic security, the latest research findings, and initiatives to foster international partnerships. Whether you attended or couldn’t make it, this edition ensures you stay informed on the biggest takeaways from this inaugural event.
Looking ahead, the momentum continues. Next month, we’re excited to host an exclusive online alumni event, “Russia, China, and the Geopolitics of the Arctic”, and we’re gearing up for our next Arctic Regional Security Orientation Course. These events promise to be rich with learning and engagement.
We’re also proud to announce two new research reports now available on our website:
- "An Evolution in Arctic Collective Defense"
- "Colonel Bernt Balchen: Polar Aviator, Arctic Innovator"
These studies offer compelling insights into the unique history, challenges, and opportunities of the High North, providing valuable tools for understanding and addressing Arctic security dynamics.
As always, we encourage you to explore our upcoming courses and events. Your participation fuels our mission to build a secure, resilient, and thriving Arctic. Whether you’re attending an event, exploring our research, or sharing ideas, your engagement makes a real difference.
Thank you for being a vital part of our growing network of Arctic-curious professionals. We’re excited to share this month’s highlights with you and look forward to connecting at future events!
Your friends at the Ted Stevens Center
