The Lecture Lounge - Your Local TED Talk

Welcome to The Lecture Lounge!

Get ready for an evening where high-stakes intelligence meets your favorite local bar. The Lecture Lounge is proud to host Dr. Ronald Sanders for an unflinching look at "Who Will Protect Us?" in an increasingly digital world.

As a former advisor to the NSA and a key architect of the Department of Homeland Security, Dr. Sanders brings unparalleled expertise from the front lines of national security. You’ll grab a drink and settle in as he breaks down the invisible cyber threats looming over the country and the FBI’s boots-on-the-ground defense against physical danger. The night kicks off with a sharp 30-minute monologue, followed by a deep-dive, live podcast-style conversation between our host and the professor.

We then open the floor, giving you the rare opportunity to challenge a government heavyweight with your own burning questions. After the talk, stick around for a high-level networking 30-minutes to rub elbows with Dr. Sanders and the Lecture Lounge team. It’s not just a lecture; it’s an immersive deep dive into the secrets of national safety. Don't miss this chance to bridge the gap between academic expertise and a great night out in Tampa!
