ESANS is anticipating attendance of 250 engineers, scientists, technical experts, procurement specialists, managers, and technicians from all levels of government and private industry, including participation from senior leaders directly involved in procuring, delivering, and managing work in remote environments. In anticipation of delivering a successful conference and tradeshow, we are depending on your support by way of attendance and/or sponsorship.
