Sunday Salon @AUSA2026
The most valuable intelligence doesn’t always come from a dashboard. Sometimes, it comes from getting the right people in the room.
⭐️ We’re bringing together military leaders, industry executives, entrepreneurs, investors, researchers, and innovators for candid conversations about the people, technologies, and ideas shaping the future of national security. Through fireside chats, expert panels, facilitated Q&A, and intentional networking, we’ll explore what’s changing, what matters, and what leaders should be thinking about next.
⭐️ Join us for a curated day of insight, connection, and action — creating space to exchange perspectives, surface emerging opportunities, build meaningful relationships, and capture the human intelligence that can help leaders make better decisions.Come for the conversation. Leave with new connections, new intelligence, and a clearer view of what’s next for the U.S. Army & beyond.
