Why Attend?
Space resiliency is an issue that has become of critical importance to our national security. With potential adversaries developing advanced space capabilities, military and government organizations are now heavily engaged in developing policies, plans and technology to best ensure the resiliency of our nation's satellite constellations. At the
Space Resiliency Summit, we will be exploring the latest initiatives from across government to address this critical topic.
In order for military commands, intelligence agencies and government agencies to meet the challenges posed to our space architecture, they, along with industry partners, will need to develop solutions to problems that didn't exist twenty years ago. This promotes unique challenges that were not conceived when space was considered a benign environment. Now that space have become increasingly contested and congested, conversations like the one we seek to foster at the
Space Resiliency Summit, are more important than ever.
Our team specializes in the extensive research and development of our Summits' content and focus areas. We seek to bring together the respected leaders from US military commands, leading research centers, government agencies, and industry technology providers. Our non-partisan approach allows us to reach across all services and organizations to bring together a truly holistic group of decision makers and solution providers.
