The Security Jam 2012

 

 

 

The 2012 Security Jam was an overwhelming success! Over the course of 4 days we saw 17,000 logins from some 3,000 participants spanning 115 countries.
The security Jam will remain on-line until the 26th of April, giving you the opportunity to read and rate your favourite posts.
The Security Jam team is currently analysing the Jam contents, compiling the best and most innovative ideas into concrete recommendations in a report that will be presented ahead of the NATO on G8 summit in May.
The final report will be officially presented at the SDA's annual NATO conference "After Chicago: Re-evaluating NATO's priorities"  on May 25th in Brussels.

The SDA thanks again all the partners who made the Jam possible, the European External Action Service, the European Commission, NATO Allied Command Transformation, the US Mission to NATO and of course IBM, as well as the 8 think-tank partners who moderated the debates, and the coalition partners. Our thanks also go to the VIPs who took the time to share their ideas with jammers, among others Adm. Stavridis, Supreme Allied Commander Europe, Gen. Abrial, Supreme Allied Commander Transformation, Maciej Popowski, Deputy Secretary General of the European External Action Service, Claude-France Arnould, Chief Executive of the European Defence Agency, and Admiral Johnstone-Burt, NATO ACT Chief of Staff.

What is the Jam?

Let’s Jam. The Security Jam focuses the brain power of thousands of experts around the world on key security issues. Over five days participants will login to a state-of-the-art online collaboration platform to discuss topics as diverse as strategic partnerships, crisis management, cyber-security and future capabilities. Leading subject-matter experts will focus discussions on producing concrete solutions.

Now it’s your turn. Take this opportunity to influence leaders with your ideas. Whether you are a soldier in Afghanistan, a researcher in London or a diplomat in Sierra Leone, the quality of your ideas is all that matters. Security Jam 2012 lets you take part in frank discussions and the free exchange of ideas with colleagues worldwide, and then you can select the most innovative ideas.

Make a real impact. Global leaders will receive the Jam’s initial results ahead of the NATO and G8 summits in Chicago in May 2012. EU and NATO leadership will receive the full report, including the ten most acclaimed recommendations, in Brussels later that month. The report will also be sent to thousands of high-level policymakers around the world. Take advantage of this unique opportunity; join us March 19th – 23rd 2012.
