UPDATES

We will post updates as we have them to this registration site.


To ensure your spot, we strongly encourage early registration—this event has reached full capacity and sold out in previous years, and on-site registration is highly unlikely.

WELCOME

AFCEA Los Angeles, the General Bernard A. Schriever Chapter of the Air and Space Forces Association (AFA), the National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) Greater Los Angeles Chapter, and the Southern California Aerospace Professional Representatives (SCAPR) are proud to announce Space Industry Days.

Space Industry Days provides industry an opportunity to receive presentations from US Air Force, US Space Force, and Space Systems Command (SSC) senior leadership on current and emerging opportunities. The conference will focus on the future of military space in the new DoD Service. USAF/USSF Senior Leaders and SSC program offices will share their plans for the next five years and panels of industry representatives will provide their perspective on challenges they are facing as they develop aerospace solutions.

The event will provide an environment for participating attendees from both the government and commercial sectors to interact on the issues important to the future of SSC. The feedback generated from the Space Industry Day will help inform government and industry alike as they work though the major issues challenging the future of the nation’s space capability.

The first day will kick off with a welcome and comments by SSC/CC, followed by multiple senior leader presentations and industry panels. The second day will also include a full day’s agenda of government and industry presentations and is planned to conclude around 4 p.m. (Pacific time).

We will provide all briefings that are cleared for public release on our website following the event.

EXHIBIT TABLES

In addition to the Industry Days agenda, contractors will be able to exhibit their products and services on display tables in a break-out room open to all Space Industry Days Participants.  Displays will be available to view from 9:00a.m. – 4:00p.m. on both days. Exhibitors: you may install your table starting at 5PM the day prior to the event. Additionally, you may continue to exhibit from your table through the reception the first night since the food and drinks will be in the same room – a good networking opportunity. Exhibit tables are 6 feet long with two chairs in a roughly 10 foot by 10 foot area. This year all tables will have access to electrical outlets for power.

Exhibitor fees are separate and do not include registration for the presentations or meals. Attendees can register as both the regular attendee as well as Exhibitor tickets. Representatives supporting their table only will not have access to the presentations or meals.
