"The Rage Over Space Tech – A ‘Down-to-Earth’ Discussion"

Presenter:

Jeffrey Janicik, Chairman/Founder, Innoflight

You may hear Elon Musk and others talk a lot about what we as part of a global economy can achieve in or from space, but how real or how practical is the underlying technology? Come join us for an invigorating panel discussion on space technology. You’ll get to listen to insightful knowledge and keen perceptions on the current ‘rage’ over space tech and related investments and opportunities.

Jeff Janicik will be moderating a panel comprised of three transformational technology leaders of the space industry: Assi Friedman (Innoflight); Mike Maughan (Skylo) and Brent Marquand (General Atomics). The panel will address gaps, areas of interest and challenges that lie ahead for the space industry. Communications, cyber, A.I., data, lasers, debris, robotics, and more are all on the table for this discussion, and the panel will be open to your specific questions about what may be peaking your personal or business interest in space.
