/ About this event
AI is moving beyond experimentation and into the systems that fly, sense, manufacture, decide, and operate in the real world.
Join AI LA and THE BR-DGE x DTI during LA Tech Week for an evening exploring how AI is reshaping aerospace, space, and defense — and what it takes to move emerging technologies from prototype to real-world deployment.
The conversation will bring together AI leadership from the U.S. Space Force, senior military leadership, venture capital, regulatory leaders, and operators from unicorn aerospace and defense companies building with AI.
We'll explore: 1. AI, autonomy + mission operations 2. Moving from prototype → validation → deployment 3. AI-assisted engineering, testing + advanced manufacturing 4. Government adoption, regulation + procurement 5. Scaling dual-use and deep-tech companies 6. The role of venture capital in the next generation of aerospace + defense
WHO SHOULD JOIN
This mission is for founders, engineers, AI builders, aerospace and defense operators, investors, government leaders, researchers, policymakers, and ecosystem builders working at the intersection of software and the physical world.
Whether you're building autonomous systems, deploying AI into complex environments, investing in dual-use technology, navigating government adoption, or helping build the next generation of aerospace and defense companies - this is the room.
This event is a part of #LATechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com.
