New Records, New Exhibitors, New Format, New Venue –Space Tech Expo 2016 Launches in Pasadena, May 24-26, 2016
Pasadena, Calif., March 16, 2016--As the final countdown to Space Tech Expo 2016 approaches, ‘America’s meeting place for space technology and engineering’ is garnering high expectations this year, as the show – co-located with Aerospace Electrical Systems - continues to expand in scope, as well as exhibitor and attendee numbers.
Gaining eminent new companies to the event - such as BAE Systems, Northrop Grumman, Honeywell, Dassault Systèmes Americas Corp, NASA AFRC, and Space and Missile Systems Center/SY - whilst retaining fixed names such as Glenair, Orbital ATK and Dynamic Fabrication, Inc., the show floor promises to deliver some exciting interactions.
As revenues in space and satellite manufacturing continue to grow year on year, the event looks set to beat last year’s 45% increase in attendance figures and 25% increase in exhibitors, with visitor registrations tracked markedly higher than this period last year.
The venue move from Long Beach to Pasadena has been widely supported by the local space and aerospace businesses, with JPL not only exhibiting but also featuring in the Space Tech Conference proceedings; Deputy Director, Gen. Larry James will be presenting a keynote address.
The refined and restructured two-day conference brings together leading representatives of the military, government and commercial space sectors. There will be a focus on examining how military and government organizations can deliver space missions by working closely with the commercial sector, leveraging the latest innovative technologies and business models. The conference also takes a deep dive into the rapidly evolving space-to-space market, and offers specific sessions examining the plethora of emerging on-orbit services and technologies.
Confirmed speakers include Claire Leon, SES, DAF, Director - Launch Enterprise, Space and Missile Systems Center; Michael Gazarik, Vice President - Engineering, Ball Aerospace; Steve Stich, Deputy Manager, Commercial Crew Program, NASA; Lars Hoffman, Sr. Dir of Gov Sales, SpaceX, and Emmanuel Sauzay, Director of Commercial Space, Airbus Defence and Space.
The new format sees Day Three switch over to a Free Sessions day, providing attendees with the opportunity to hear the small-business needs of government and military organizations, as well as prime contractors. Confirmed speakers include SMC, NASA and JPL; visitors will simply be able to access the sessions with their free expo hall pass to participate.
