Aspen is a place for leaders to lift their sights above the possessions which possess them. To confront their own nature as human beings, to regain control over their own humanity by becoming more self-aware, more self-correcting, and hence more self-fulfilling.

The COVID-19 global pandemic has revealed the fragility of the new world order and the lethal weaknesses of the supply chain. Cyber weapons, deep fakes, and misinformation have been exploited, as is unfortunately to be expected, but our critical supplier dependency has been exacerbated by the crisis. What are short-term solutions that will allow us to adjust and adapt; and, what are the long-term reforms that will prevent future catastrophic failures?

Dina Temple Raston, Special Correspondent at NPR, will be in conversation with Harvey Rishikof, Director of Policy and Cyber security research at the University of Maryland.
