Join DEF San Antonio for our Randolph Air Force Base-focused Innovation Mixer on 15 January at 6:00 PM. Our event will take place at the Old Main Ice House as a networking opportunity wrapping up the first day of the Air Force Personnel Center’s Innovation Symposium. The goal of this event is to link symposium sponsors and interested personnel from across the community (and newcomers) to share ideas, stories on their projects and transformational efforts.

The mission of the Defense Entrepreneurs Forum is to inspire, connect and empower people by convening events, forging partnerships and delivering tangible solutions. We do this in order to promote a culture of innovation in the U.S. national security community.

We are united in this purpose through service to our nation and the desire to bring new ideas and innovations to the national security ecosystem. We recognize that large, multi-tiered organization can stymie new ideas and ways of solving problems. Within any such group, there are people driven to find new, better, faster, cheaper, easier and more effective solutions. DEF unites those people, enabling them with avenues to express themselves, connect with like-minded individuals, and gain the insights, mentorship and support necessary to bring their ideas to execution.

If you have an interest in national security, regardless of whether you work in government, academia, a startup, policy or industry, you may also be a virtuous insurgent.
