Space Pioneers to Meet at Long Beach

Long Beach, Calif.,  May 3, 2013--SPACE TECH EXPO 2013, (www.spacetechexpo.com)  the West Coast’s major space industry gathering and one of the largest events of its type in the world, brings together global decision makers involved in the design, build, and testing of spacecraft, satellite, launch vehicle, and space-related technologies.

The annual trade show and conference will be held May 21-23 2013 at the Long Beach Convention Center.   With over 140 exhibiting companies, SPACE TECH EXPO is a feature-packed event established to introduce the supply chain to the wider buying chain. Space Tech Expo attracts scientists, engineers, C-level professionals, government representatives, policy makers, space agencies, military, venture capitalists and investors, industry entrepreneurs, and buyers from the satellite communications marketplace. 

While some events emphasize networking opportunities, SPACE TECH EXPO guarantees a professional B2B platform to discuss and conduct business. In addition to the exhibition, Space Tech Expo features a C-level three-day conference entitled The Business Case for Space at a highly competitive rate of $695.

The SPACE TECH CONFERENCE will address core challenges and opportunities in space commercialization, commercial crew and cargo, space tourism, space launch systems, space funding, technology transfer, International Space Station utilization, military requirements, and supply chain and acquisition considerations.  

Prime contractors including ATK, SpaceX, The Boeing Company, Northrop Grumman, Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne and Raytheon will join representatives from NASA, the military, and The Aerospace Corporation to discuss strategies that continue to deliver excellence and innovation, while also driving down cost.

“The Space Tech Conference brings together serious players in a number of key sectors, from satellites to launch services to NASA programs.  It’s fast becoming one of the ‘go-to’ events for the space business and well worth the participation,”     said Jeffrey Manber, Managing Director, NanoRacks.

SPACE TECH EXPO also offers free learning opportunities for all exhibition attendees through free engineering workshops and the free-to-attend Satellite & Space Summit. This unique combination of conference and exhibition ensures that your time away from the office pays dividends and is both money and time well spent.   

This year’s new venue, the Long Beach Convention Center is just a quick drive from many of Southern California’s leading space companies, and in close proximity to US Air Force and NASA facilities.  It all adds up to making SPACE TECH EXPO a must-attend industry event of 2013, especially given tight travel budgets.
