Asian, Black, Hispanic, and female veterans and milspouses – you need to apply to Breaking Barriers by Bunker Labs / Institute for Veterans and Military Families - IVMF.   Breaking Barriers is another great program in a long line of exceptional experiential programs put on by Bunker Labs / IVMF. From Veterans in Residence to CEOcircle (that’s the one I’m in right now), they continue to create programs that help veterans and milspouses get what they need to succeed.     The eight-week program is designed to immediately impact early to growth-stage businesses by providing access to business tools, resources, capital opportunities, mentorship, and a stronger peer network.   Breaking Barriers in Entrepreneurship is a virtual program facilitating business growth and support within Asian, Black, Hispanic, and female veteran and military spouse communities.   There is a late April cohort kicking off.  Application link is in the comments. 

The first screenshot shown on the video is from our director, Ignacio Foche Pérez,, thanking the amazing DHIS2 community #DAC2024 "Our motto at EyeSeeTea is open source for an open world and we think that is what DHIS2 and its diverse, vibrant community perfectly embodies. The spirit of the CoP could not better represent the spirit of DHIS2 and of our company: to build together an open software for the global public good."

Who's going to Identiverse next week in Las Vegas? I'll be at booth 2325, come say hi! I'll be in Vegas all week, DM me if you're attending Identiverse or live in the area, and let's meet up! I started my cyber journey in identity and access management, focusing on centralizing and managing identities and access. Today, while IdPs have successfully centralized IAM infrastructure management, they've also created a centralized attack surface. With rising identity-based attacks, the focus has shifted to identity as infrastructure security in cloud and hybrid environments. Ensuring legitimate identities and normal activities requires stitching together your IdP with all your cloud environments. IdPs alone aren't enough—Okta's CEO admitted to breaches, stating, “We’re not perfect by any means.” I look forward to discussing this shift and Permiso's approach to addressing the challenges of detecting and responding to identity-based attacks at our booth or wherever you want to meet in Vegas!

Thinking of a career pivot? "Before you can decide if a pivot is for you, you must decide what it is you can do. Then, what it is you want to do." One of our Michigan State University Strategic Communication M.A. grads offers a process you can use to evaluate a next step: 1. What do you want? 2. What do employers want? 3. Be ready for rejection 4. Do you know your audience? Doda Lulgjuraj shares his process for a pivot that landed him a better job which gave him the greatest gift: more time with his family. The dream for more margin and a better job is possible. Direct message me if you're interested in a conversation. I'd love to dream with you.

The #europeancommission has announced the launch of the first #call for expressions of interest to find six local organisers for the inaugural edition of the Defence Hackathons, part of the European Union Defence Innovation Scheme (#EUDIS). This initiative is aimed at fostering #innovation in the #defencesector and attracting new #talent by leveraging digital solutions to address defence-related challenges.

Commissioner #breton highlighted the importance of harnessing top EU talents to navigate the complexities of digital threats and opportunities, emphasizing the hackathon as a platform for collaboration, innovation, and solution development in the #defencesector. The theme for this first series of hackathons is "#Digital in #Defence," with challenges designed to inspire innovative solutions in areas critical to defence. Participants will have the support of experts from defence ministries, the innovation ecosystem, and the defence industry, who will also serve on panels to judge the solutions. This call for local organisers remains open until March 11, 2024, 12:00 CET, offering a significant opportunity for innovation facilitators within the EU and Norway to play a central role in this pioneering defence innovation event. #DefenceHackathon2024 #EUDISHackathon #DigitalInDefence #EUDefenceInnovation #HackForDefence #InnovationInDefence #EUDefenceChallenge #TechForDefence #DefenceTechSolutions #EUInnovationDrive https://lnkd.in/ee6adfhy

Save the date for NAPD's, Transforming Public Defense Conference: Redefining Our Culture, Sustaining Ourselves, Centering Our Clients. This conference will be help April 9th through April 12th, 2024 hosted in Traverse City, Michigan! Client-centered public defense systems recognize that redefining our culture and building systems to support the sustainability and well-being of their teams is critical. This leads to higher-quality representation, increased retention, and greater recruiting success. At this conference, we will model an approach to public defense gatherings creating space for the participants to renew their commitment to the work, network and share ideas, and begin plans to bring sustainable, practical solutions back to their organizations. After the conference, we will continue to work together to share progress on these plans and provide support for each other. 🗓Mark your calendars, NAPD events always sell out fast!🗓
