The Centre for Counterintelligence and Security Studies of Alexandria, Virginia, is dedicated to the study of the counterintelligence discipline. It is staffed by intelligence experts retired from the FBI, CIA, Military Intelligence, RCMP and KGB as well as America, British and Canadian intelligence historians and authors.

 

The CI Centre is widely known in the US Intelligence Community for its premier counterintelligence training.

 

On April 25-30, 2004, the staff of the CI Centre hosted SpyRetreat™: an exclusive event held at the luxury resort, The Homestead, in Hot Springs, Virginia.

 

Select lectures on espionage cases were presented by the CI Centre staff in the mornings. The rest of the day was open to enjoy the renowned golf courses, spa and a host of great activities at this historic and grand resort nestled in the beautiful Virginia mountains.

 

Guests mingled with former FBI, CIA, Military Intelligence and KGB officers as well as other intelligence professionals in an intimate setting. They met others who shared their interest and passion in the subject pf espionage.

 

SpyRetreat™ sponsors include The Association of Former Intelligence Officers (AFIO) and the International Spy Museum in Washington, DC.

 

Anyone with an interest in intelligence and counterintelligence, the history of espionage, spy cases and readers of intelligence and espionage literature would find SpyRetreat™ a completely fascinating and unique time.
