The panel discussion will be moderated by Hannah Clayson Smith, who serves as Associate Director at the International Center for Law and Religion Studies at the J. Reuben Clark School of Law, and National Coordinator at the Religious Freedom Alliance Council. Mrs. Clayson-Smith is also a former clerk to both Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito and is the former Senior Counsel at the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty.

While guest speakers and panelists come from a wide range of political views and religious affiliations, all share a common desire to protect religious liberty in America, and a recognition that a threat to the religious liberty of one American is a threat to the religious liberty of all Americans.
