DICE Alliance Gathering
DICE Alliance, powered by the FORGE initiative, is bringing together defense innovation leaders, researchers, entrepreneurs, and industry partners for its next gathering on Friday, October 23.
Held in partnership with San Diego Connect’s IDEA Week, this gathering offers an opportunity to share insights from the summer, align on priorities for the months ahead, and connect with colleagues across San Diego’s growing technology and innovation community.
The program will feature briefings, an open roundtable discussion and time for networking and conversation. Attendees will have an opportunity to exchange perspectives, strengthen connections and look ahead to opportunities for collaboration in late 2026 and into 2027.
New to the DICE Alliance? Bring a colleague. We welcome team members and colleagues who have not yet participated in a DICE gathering and are interested in connecting with the region’s defense innovation community.
