In this episode of ClearedCast , Phoebe Wells sits down with Tyler Johnson and Carlos Romero of eMerge Americas to talk about why this year’s conference matters for national security professionals. They break down how eMerge has evolved into a major hub for technology, policy, and public-private collaboration, and why cleared professionals, veterans, and innovation-minded leaders should be paying attention. From dual-use technology and workforce development to live Army pitch competitions, hackathons, venture capital, and veteran-focused programming, this conversation explores how emerging tech is moving from idea to mission impact. If you work in national security, hold a clearance, or want to better understand where AI, defense innovation, and talent strategy are headed next, this episode offers a strong preview of the conversations shaping that future.
