The experts come from the defense industry, technology companies, US Dept of Defense and Intelligence agencies, policy makers in the federal government, investors in private and public markets. Events are held virtually and in meeting spaces and private dining spaces (hotels and restaurants). All of our activities support the development of our publications.
