The HBS & MIT Sloan Technology & National Security Conference 2025

The fourth annual HBS and MIT Sloan Technology and National Security Conference unites students, DOD officials, industry leaders, and venture capitalists to foster collaboration, challenge conventional thinking, and drive innovation in addressing complex security challenges.

This year’s theme, “Adapting in a New Era of National Security,” underscores the urgency of responding to rapid geopolitical shifts and technological advancements. From the conflict in Ukraine to rising tensions in the Middle East and China’s growing influence, the global security landscape demands adaptation across battlefields, the defense industrial base, and public and private sectors. Progress has been made, but much work remains. Together, we must rise to the challenge.

The conference spans two days, Friday, April 4 - Saturday, April 5, 2025, with the main conference on Saturday from 9 AM to 6 PM in Klarman Hall at Harvard Business School. Complementing the main event are the Networking Reception on Friday at 5 PM at the MIT Museum and the Women in Tech & Defense Breakfast on Saturday morning at 8 AM in Spangler Hall at Harvard Business School (separate tickets required).
