Who is Attending?
Attendees:
The Invasion merges two worlds of military and technology.
-
Veterans and veteran spouses from around the country, in various levels of transition out of their military careers, will convene to receive opportunities for education, employment, and entrepreneurship in the tech industry.
-
Technology Leaders, Investors, HR & Recruiters, Engineers, and others representing a wide variety of industries with a high-tech focus and communities, will deliver content and lead workshops covering topics for our veterans and their spouses
This cross-section of military and technology worlds is what makes VetsinTech unique, and makes its first conference – The Invasion in Silicon Valley – a first of it’s kind event that creates opportunities for our military heroes from around the country to gain access to 2 days of opportunities in technology education, employment, and entrepreneurship.

A note about the Coronavirus (COVID-19)
The health and safety of our veterans, speakers, mentors, partners, staff and their families is a top priority. With recent reports on the spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19), we want to let you know that VetsinTech is actively monitoring the situation. We will continue to follow the CDC and World Health Organization’s updates as this situation evolves.
It’s going to take work from all of us to protect ourselves and our community by practicing good habits. We will have plenty of hand sanitizers and hand washing stations throughout the conference. As always, we encourage everyone to strongly consider staying home if you feel ill during The Invasion.
