It's been nearly two months since I was laid off from TechCrunch. A lot has happened! I connected with a lot of old friends, made new friends, had a lengthy hospital stay, and found some new projects.
I'm thrilled to announce one of the new projects: The Resilience Conference.

I teamed up with an all-time great TechCruncher, Leslie Hitchcock, to put on this conference aimed at the defense and security sector, specifically in Europe.
The world is teetering on a knife's edge, and global conflict is stressing the need for innovation that pushes traditional security and defense into the now.
As always, startups are leading this shift, but there's a sizable disconnect between EU defense industries and startups. The Resilience Conference is the only innovation conference focussed on resilience, defense, and security, bringing together startups and investors with academia, government, and the military. I want to stress this is not a defense or arms conference; this is a startup conference in the same vein as TechCrunch Disrupt.
This event will take place this fall at a historic venue in London.
There's so much more I wish I could share, but due to the nature of the participants, I have to keep some highlights for private conversations.
Want to get involved? We're looking for exhibitors, sponsors, and just a couple more speakers. Hit me up on LinkedIn, and let's talk.
