ARLINGTON, VA – May 11, 2012 – Counter Terror Expo US, the conference
and expo serving our nation’s complete counter-terror community, today
announced Charles E.
Allen, former Under Secretary for Intelligence and Analysis with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security
and now Principal of The Chertoff Group,
will deliver a keynote address during the Thursday morning plenary session.
Counter Terror Expo US is taking place next week, May
16-17, 2012 in Washington, DC.
At the Department of Homeland Security, Mr. Allen developed
the department’s intelligence architecture, integrated its intelligence
activities and ensured that they were continuously aligned with the
department’s evolving priorities. He also accelerated and expanded the
department’s processes for sharing intelligence with state and local security
and law enforcement officials. During his more than 40 years at the Central
Intelligence Agency (CIA), Mr. Allen became as much a legend as a respected
senior official. Mr. Allen became the principal adviser to the Director of
Central Intelligence on collection management, where he revolutionized the way
the various national intelligence agencies coordinate and target their
activities.
In his current role as principal at The Chertoff Group, Mr.
Allen brings his extensive experience in intelligence program management,
analysis and production; intelligence collection management; system acquisition
and warning intelligence. His areas of focus include homeland security threat
assessments and information sharing programs, counterterrorism and
counter-proliferation threat analysis, critical infrastructure risk
assessments, crisis and risk management and corporate strategic planning.
“In the wake of the anniversary of bin Laden’s death and the
thwarted al-Qaeda bomb plot, counterterror issues, operational strategies and
future policy are more important than ever. Next week, Mr. Allen will join the
more than 60 internationally recognized experts at Counter Terror Expo US to
discuss these critical issues and more,” said Wayne Crawford, vice president,
North America, Clarion Events. “We are extremely honored to have someone of Mr.
Allen’s caliber participating in our event.”
