October Save the Date – Space Industry Days

Space Industry Days sessions are open to all government, industry partners and contractors. The sessions will feature government and industry speakers discussing current initiatives and emerging challenges.

AFCEA Los Angeles, the General Bernard A. Schriever Chapter of the Air Force 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 on October 18-19, 2023.

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.
