oVER 40 WORlD CLASS PRESENTERS UNITING THE INDUSTRY FOR SUCCESS

Karen Taminger

Materials Research Engineer NASA Langley Research Center “The Future Aerospace Congress provided the opportunity for industry end users and suppliers to discuss future manufacturing developments and needs. The format mixed up panel discussions, presentations, and networking opportunities, resulting in a good environment for lively interactions. The venue was located in a beautiful setting, secluded from outside distractions and conducive to a highly interactive event.”

David PHIPPS

Head of Composite Structures Development Centre Airbus “The 2007 conference provided a fascinating insight into the US Aerospace & Defence industry including aircraft, UAVs, satellites and space exploration. The presentations varied from high-level overview to detailed technical presentation and included human resource and process improvement issues as well.

The congress was also a useful networking opportunity. I could recommend attendance of the event to any senior aerospace executive wanting to maintain awareness of the wider industry and promote visibility of their Company in the US.”

“As the “baby boomers” exit the workforce, voids in technical workers, as well as management and executives, could have dramatic impacts to the long term success of companies.”

Gary S. Toyama Vice President, Southern California Region Boeing Integrated Defense Systems
