The AIAA SPACE 2012 Conference is AIAA’s premier event on space technology, policy, programs, management, and education. Nowhere else will you get the depth and breadth of sessions and information-sharing on space systems and technology. At this three-day event, attendees can expect discussions with government and industry leaders in plenary panel and keynote sessions; interactive exhibits, demonstrations, presentations, and poster sessions in the exposition hall; networking activities for all participants, including students and young professionals; and unique learning opportunities in the capstone events like the William H. Pickering Lecture. Participation at the 2012 event is beneficial for industry executives, government and military officials, program managers, business developers, engineers and scientists, government affairs staff, consultants, professors, and students.
