49th AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting including the New Horizons Forum and Aerospace Exposition

AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting
The AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting is the first major multidisciplinary event of the year for aerospace scientists and engineers from around the world. It provides an ideal forum for scientists and engineers from industry, government, and academia to share and disseminate scientific knowledge and research results with a view toward new technologies for aerospace systems. This meeting is built around excellent technical paper presentation sessions. Plenary sessions that focus attention on program areas of current interest will start some sessions, followed by technical papers providing additional discussion of these topics. Distinguished lectures and evening networking events fill out the remainder of the program throughout the week.

New Horizons Forum
The New Horizons Forum will be held in conjunction with the AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting. The New Horizons Forum will feature keynote speakers from industry and government who will share their perspectives on the new challenges, future opportunities, and emerging trends in aerospace education, research, and programs. The New Horizons Forum will also feature panel discussions in which leaders from industry, government, and academia will address current issues and trends in aerospace technology research and development.

Aerospace Exposition
The Aerospace Exposition will showcase exhibits from government, industry, and small businesses, allowing one-on-one discussions with exhibitors, hardware and software demonstrations, and opportunities for side meetings with these organizations throughout the week.
