Exploring the Future of Space and Satellite Innovation

Join us for a morning filled with discovery, where you’ll gain groundbreaking insights, explore cutting-edge ideas, and forge valuable connections within our region’s dynamic and ever-growing space and satellite sector.

Space innovation is driving growth across diverse industries and government sectors, with satellites playing a crucial role in a vast range of applications, from communication to navigation, and military surveillance to environmental monitoring for disaster management, agriculture, and scientific research.

Washington state’s space industry is a key contributor to these advances with over half of the satellites in the earth’s orbit manufactured right here in the region. Washington’s space industry has seen remarkable growth doubling in size between 2018 and 2022, supporting over 13,000 jobs, and having an economic impact of $4.6B.

Our speakers include:

• Stan Shull: A space industry analyst, consultant, and managing director of Alliance Velocity will share invaluable insights into the space and satellite sector opportunity.
• Kelly Maloney: Co-Founder and Board Member of Space Northwest will provide an overview of our regional space economy.
• Casey Anglada DeRaad: Founder and CEO of NewSpace Nexus, an organization known for its annual partnerships with the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), United States Space Force (USSF), and the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), will share updates on the 2023 State of the Space Industrial Base initiative and report.

A highlight of this year’s summit is the Space Innovation Fireside Chat, with featured speakers from industry firms including Kymeta, Xplore, and others moderated by Geekwire’s Alan Boyle. Register today to reserve your spot at this valuable forum!
