 rs\\n\\nChristopher F. Rufo is America’s leading voice defending free spe
 ech\, freedom of opinion\, and the pursuit of truth on campus and in the me
 dia. A Senior Fellow at the Manhattan Institute\, he fearlessly challenges 
 once-taboo issues—from DEI to racial preferences—and helped inspire a p
 residential order and legislation in 15 states. A PBS and Netflix filmmaker
 \, he directed America Lost about three “forgotten” cities. In an age o
 f rising censorship and even violence against open debate\, Rufo shows how 
 to confront hard issues without silencing dissent.\\n\\nJoe Lonsdale\, Foun
 der and Managing Partner of 8VC and host of the American Optimist podcast\,
  will discuss how AI is reshaping innovation\, industry\, education\, and c
 ivil society\, offering insight into both the opportunities and the risks a
 head.\\n\\nProfessor Jonathan Turley is a renowned legal scholar and the Sh
 apiro Chair for Public Interest Law at George Washington University. A prol
 ific author\, he has published over three dozen articles in elite journals 
 and written best-sellers including The Indispensable Right: Free Speech in 
 an Age of Rage and the 2026 release Rage and the Republic. As a practitione
 r\, Turley has served as counsel in landmark constitutional cases. Notably\
 , he led the U.S. House of Representatives’ successful challenge to the A
 ffordable Care Act's funding and achieved a historic victory striking down 
 Utah’s polygamy criminalization. His diverse portfolio includes represent
 ing whistleblowers\, military personnel\, and high-profile figures like Jul
 ian Assange and Dr. Ali Al-Timimi—the latter of whom was cleared of all c
 harges in 2026. One of few attorneys to successfully challenge both federal
  and state laws\, Turley remains a pivotal figure in American jurisprudence
 \, recognized by a namesake fellowship at GW Law for his commitment to publ
 ic service.\\n\\nDaniel Di Martino is a Fellow at the Manhattan Institute a
 nd a PhD candidate in Economics at Columbia University\, where his research
  focuses on immigration\, particularly selection\, assimilation\, and highl
 y skilled migration. Born and raised in Venezuela\, he experienced firsthan
 d the devastating consequences of socialism\, which led him to leave for th
 e United States in 2016. Since then\, Daniel has dedicated his career to ex
 plaining how socialism destroyed his homeland\, advocating for Venezuela’
 s freedom\, and preventing similar policies from taking root in the U.S. He
  has appeared on Fox News and CNN and written for outlets including USA Tod
 ay\, National Review\, City Journal\, and the New York Post. Daniel founded
  the Dissident Project and serves on advisory boards promoting free enterpr
 ise and civil rights.
