RE: Featured speakers at Oracle Defence Tech Summit17 Jun 2026 18:55
Asimpleinvestor .. you do like to post just a bit negative and deflate. .. Agreed anyone with industry connections can register. But Oracle published a curated list of exactly ten featured speakers for their flagship EU defence summit, and Roughan and Jenkinson got two of those ten slots. The other featured speakers include David Cattler (former NATO Assistant Secretary General for Intelligence and Security, previously head of a $3.2bn US defence security enterprise), Ivan Zhang (co-founder of Cohere, a frontier AI company valued in the billions), Cohere's Global Aerospace and Defence Lead, and Kim Lynch (Oracle's global EVP for Government, Defense & Intelligence). That's the calibre of speaker Oracle decided was worth featuring at their flagship European defence event — and they decided to feature DH-Whitespace's 2 senior figures at the same level of speaker prominence .
Oracle has made a commercial decision to publicly position DH-Whitespace alongside that calibre of company at their flagship European defence event.
Oracle wouldn't invest reputational capital in elevating DH-Whitespace at their major European defence marketing event unless they viewed the relationship as very meaningful ..
