DEF 2015
[by Mark Safranski, a.k.a. “zen“]
The Defense Entrepreneur’s Forum is one of the major national conferences dedicated to exploring innovative ideas and cultural change in defense, military leadership and national security and it is being held in Chicago on November 6-8th. It is an outstanding opportunity to meet both emerging and senior military leaders, defense intellectuals, policy wonks, national security and business gurus and experts from diverse professional fields.
Previously, I’ve had to miss DEF due to schedule conflicts but this year I am able to attend and will cover DEF 2015 here at ZP ( I believe Lexington Green will do the same over at Chicago Boyz). I look forward to meeting some of the thoughtful folks I know mainly as internet entities on Small Wars Journal, War on the Rocks, the Bridge, the Warlord Loop, Twitter and Facebook. Perhaps I will see some of you there as well!
A few samples of past DEF talks:
BJ Armstrong ” The Nuclear Option”
Karen Courington ” From Start-up to Mark-up”
Joe Byerly “DEF2.0 Story”

I’d like to see someone at this conference speak about the potential for an “artificially generated stampede.” agsaf.org
