USGIF Small Satellite Workshop - Classified Day

USGIF has expanded its Small Satellite Workshop to offer a second day of classified content at the TS//SI/TK REL FVEY clearance level. Separate registration and fee is required to attend Tuesday’s classified day.

Registration is now closed.

Building off of the great content provided by Monday’s unclassified day, Tuesday will focus on current classified studies on resiliency, provide opportunities to hear from agencies currently working on small satellite programs, and allow attendees to engage in classified conversations throughout the day. The classified agenda will provide a glimpse into the challenge and opportunities facing government customers and what they need from industry.

Agenda

Agenda is tentative and subject to change.
