Previously, he served as the 22nd Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force, becoming the first African American service chief in U.S. military history. In April 2025, General Brown retired from the Air Force after 41 years of service. 

In a fireside chat, General Brown will discuss his illustrious military career—a journey anchored in a deep commitment to service and marked by his visionary leadership to modernize the Air Force to address emerging global security threats. The session will conclude with an audience Q&A.
