Xconomy Forum: Homeland Security and the Innovation Community **REGISTRATION CLOSED: SOLD OUT**

Can the U.S. Department of Homeland Security innovate in science and technology—and, if so, what does it mean for local businesses and entrepreneurs?

Join Xconomy founder and editor in chief Robert Buderi for an up-close-and-personal conversation with The Honorable Jay Cohen Under Secretary of Science and Technology for DHS. The Under Secretary will speak about his directorate’s ongoing overhaul of its programs and initiatives—an effort aimed at promoting more game-changing ideas and innovations and better connecting entrepreneurs, companies, and other innovators with first responders and potential “customers” throughout the government.

Mr. Cohen will join attendees for lunch after his chat with Bob.

This event is free of charge but by invitation only. Attendance is limited to 50 guests. To request an invitation, please CLICK HERE; you’ll be asked a few quick questions about yourself. We will send an official invitation via e-mail to the first 50 qualified attendees. Hurry—we expect this event to fill up fast.
