DARPAConnect Albany Regional Pop-Up
About the Event
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), in collaboration with the Applied Research Institute, the University at Albany, and NY CREATES, is hosting a DARPAConnect Regional Pop-Up event in Albany, New York, on Thursday, November 14th, 2024.
With the goal of breaking down barriers to entry, this event is designed to educate, motivate, and inspire new potential performers from small businesses, industry, and academia to engage with DARPA and contribute to growing the national security innovation ecosystem. This one-day event offers a unique opportunity to gain insights into DARPA through engaging sessions led by DARPA office directors, program managers, and staff. Additionally, participants will have the chance to ask questions and receive answers directly from DARPA leadership. Conversations with DARPA leaders and program managers will be available exclusively to our in-person attendees during networking opportunities throughout the day. In-person registration also includes breakfast, lunch, and refreshments.
