Defense Tech Conference
Defense Tech Conference is a mission-driven summit designed for founders building with purpose, and for the government and investors who support them.
Our goals are to:
• Highlight early- and growth-stage defense tech and dual-use startups.
• Foster public-private collaboration.
• Equip founders with the insights, access, and community to succeed in defense innovation.
The main event will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 4 from 9:00 AM - 5:30 PM PT.
In addition, on November 3rd from 1:00–4:00 PM, we will host a Founder Bootcamp exclusively for founders attending the conference. The bootcamp is designed to provide tactical insights, practical guidance, and direct engagement opportunities tailored to defense tech and dual-use founders. Access is included with the purchase of a Founder Ticket.
