Sybil Collective
2026 Events
October 4th, 2025
Washington, DC
Because of your support, we kicked off our journey at SXSW and wrapped the year with an incredible in-person event at a DC golf course in October.
In 2026, we’re scaling up - hosting quarterly events alongside major industry gatherings in Austin (SXSW), Tampa (SOF Week), and Washington, DC (AUSA).
Every dollar goes directly toward curating meaningful, high-impact experiences for women veterans and government servants, shaping the future of defense innovation.
We’re deeply grateful for every kind of support - whether through direct contributions, in-kind donations, introductions, or network engagement that strengthens our community.
Want to get more involved? Reach out to connect with the Sybil Collective team and explore how you can help us grow this movement.
Sybil Collective is a powerful network designed to empower women with military and government backgrounds to drive innovation in dual-use technology and national security.
In March 2025, at SXSW we unveiled the Sybil Collective’s vision, outline our ambitious goals for 2025, and deliver immediate value to our members and partners, fostering collaboration and shaping the future of defense innovation.
