Space Tech Expo 2017

Space Tech Expo and Conference is America’s engineering meeting place for space technology.

The B2B space industry event brings together thought leaders, decision-makers and buyers to meet the manufacturing supply chain for commercial, civil and military space and aerospace.

Space Tech Conference returns to Pasadena in 2017 with an insight-packed three-day agenda that will help commercial, military, government and academic organizations navigate the opportunities and challenges of doing business in an increasingly complex landscape.

Space Tech Conference returns to Pasadena in 2017 with an insight-packed three-day agenda that will help commercial, military, government and academic organizations navigate the opportunities and challenges of doing business in an increasingly complex landscape.

Through keynotes, panels and audience-interactive discussion sessions, the conference will examine questions and issues including:

• Implementing ‘Space Enterprise Vision’ – adapting to a new era in Air Force space requirements
• New space and old space – how will incumbents and start-ups work together co-operating instead of competing?
• Commercial, government and military collaboration in future space
• Space funding and new space finance 
• How do you accelerate from being a start up to a real market player?
• Improving US commercial space competitiveness – increasing space exports
• Small launch vehicles – addressing the bottleneck of getting into space
• Space traffic management/ space situational awareness – managing congested space and assuring safety 
• Scaling operations and manufacturing capabilities to support growth of mega constellations
