FORGE 2026 – After Party

Date: 2026-10-28 · Location: Arlington, VA · Organiser: VC in DC

The conversations that matter most rarely happen in the main room. When the afternoon programming wraps, join us to keep the momentum going in a more relaxed setting. The FORGE 2026 After Party brings together the people building, funding, and shaping national resilience — operators, founders, investors, and mission partners directly involved in strengthening the defense and dual-use technology base — for drinks and a continuation of the conversations that started earlier in the day. Attendance is reserved for those directly involved in the national resilience ecosystem, and space is limited. Held in National Landing, Arlington. Startups interested in attending FORGE 2026 itself may apply at vcindc.com/forge.
