Mike Benz, cybersecurity expert and crusader against online censorship, will bring his cutting-edge insights to the CPAC Circle Retreat and Gala at The Mar-a-Lago Club from November 4-7, 2025. As a former State Department official under President Trump, Benz played a pivotal role in shaping U.S. cyber diplomacy, negotiating policies to counter digital threats from adversaries like China and Russia while championing internet freedom. His founding of the Foundation for Freedom Online has positioned him as a leading voice in exposing the "censorship-industrial complex," where government agencies collude with Big Tech to silence conservatives.
Benz's work exemplifies the conservative commitment to preserving liberty in the digital age, with policy expertise, advocating for constitutional rights against bureaucratic and corporate tyranny. From testifying before Congress on election interference to collaborating with figures like Elon Musk on social media platform transparency, he has relentlessly fought to dismantle structures that stifle dissent and manipulate information flows. At Mar-a-Lago this November, Mike Benz will equip attendees with strategies to combat online censorship, empower grassroots movements, and secure a free internet for future generations.
Benz will bring his efforts to continue to safeguard American sovereignty in cyberspace to America's strongest patriots at the CPAC Circle Retreat and Gala. Join us to rally behind leaders redefining the battle for truth and transparency. Reserve your tickets today: CPAC.org/maralago
