Ignite Talks: Security & Risk Management
Part of Twin Cities Startup Week 2026, September 14–18.
Risk shows up in a startup in more places than cybersecurity alone. In this rapid-fire Ignite series, three speakers will each have five minutes to share one lesson on identifying and managing risks before they become expensive problems, followed by two minutes of audience Q&A. The talks will look at risk from three different angles: operational and compliance systems, privacy and cybersecurity, and the human decisions that affect how a company executes and grows.
Speakers:
Joe Slaughter — Founder, DefineTheBox
Brandi Bennett — Managing Partner, Bennett Tech Law
Rachel Edwards — Founder & CEO, Insperai
