The sixth annual North American Space Summit (NASS), presented by the Michigan Aerospace Manufacturers Association (MAMA), has been set for October 2-3 at Detroit's Atheneum Hotel and International Conference Center. The NASS is an educational and networking forum for aerospace stakeholders from academia, government and commercial organizations.
"Space-driven disruptive technologies have a direct impact on business growth and are already making an impact today."
Gavin Brown, MAMA
"Michigan is focused on integrating emerging technologies into the digital ecosystem," said MAMA Executive Director Gavin Brown. "Our technical engineering and manufacturing expertise here in the Midwest, once dedicated primarily to support automotive and industrial growth, now expands to touch nearly every industry.
"Space-driven disruptive technologies have a direct impact on business growth and are already making an impact today. It affects every part of our business and personal lives – everything from autonomous transportation to security and defense and our healthcare. Our conference will help leaders make important connections to expand their businesses in this burgeoning field."
The NASS is focused on driving opportunities and networking connections. The two-day conference will feature some of the world's authorities from government and defense, academia, medicine, as well as private sectors, sharing critical insights that will shape business growth and our lives here on earth.
"Whether it is the Pentagon's new Space Force, nano/microsatellite networks, or missile defense systems, near-Earth outer space is becoming crowded with business opportunities," Brown said. "Growth-focused enterprises who aspire to be part of the next generation of high-tech companies should make their way to the North American Space Summit this October."
