AFWHO?

AFWERX is one of the Air Force’s startup accelerators (see their Wikipedia entry). They were created specifically to skip all the bureaucracy and turbo charge innovative new technology by small businesses and startups. They are currently spearheading a trainload of crazy new stuff, including —believe it or not— flying cars (see this Air Force article).

Ok, How ‘Bout That Treasure?

Well, last month they held a week-long conference where they talked about everything! Initiatives, future plans, results so far, ideas, and everything you could possibly want to know about! And now they have archived all their talks and materials so you can read and watch from home!
