Why partner with RedThread X
Not a booth. A seat at the table.
01
Reach the room that matters.
Defense and government leaders, venture investors, and dual-use founders, brought together by invitation and curation rather than walk-in traffic.
02
Be part of the conversation.
Our convenings run on salons, fireside chats, panels, and facilitated discussion. Ask us how a partner can take part in the program.
03
Leave with relationships.
Small-format sessions and intentional networking are designed for follow-up, not a stack of business cards.
04
Connect beyond the event.
RedThread X works across Media, Events, and Intelligence. We can talk through how a partnership might extend beyond the room.

- 01Military and government leaders
