Technology Exposition
The Air Force Association’s Annual Air & Space Conference and Technology Exposition is the premier event for those companies who wish to do business with the US Air Force. Air & Space enjoys exceptional visibility among Air Force and DoD leadership as well as international air force attendees. 2008 saw the Secretary and Chief of Staff of the Air Force on the exhibit floor each of the three show days, and the Deputy Secretary of Defense also made time to walk the exhibit floor. The exhibitors on this event run the gamut from military units and government agencies to small businesses and the giants of the defense industry. Past exhibitors include (partial list):
AAFES•Lockheed Martin•Booz Allen Hamilton•Air Force Research Laboratory•Air Force Materiel Command Test & Evaluation•Alaska Structures•Alcoa Defense•EADS•Goodrich Corp.•Gulfstream Aerospace•Honeywell•L-3•National Geospatial Intelligence Agency•Parker Aerospace•Pratt & Whitney•Rolls-Royce•Sikorsky•Air Force Manpower Agency•Air Force Materiel Command Test & Evaluation•Boeing•Cessna Aircraft Company•Nordam•Textron Systems•Tobyhanna Army Depot•Raytheon•ATK•IBM•Cobham•General Dynamics•Jane's •Northrop Grumman•Air Force Information Operations Center•Vought Aircraft •Hawker Beechcraft•Missile Defense Agency•Iridium•MBDA•GE Aviation•Rockwell Collins•BAE Systems•DynCorp•KBR•General Atomics•Inmarsat•QinetiQ North America•Air National Guard•SAIC•Harris Corp.Alion•Crane Aerospace & Electronics•Elbit Systems•Alenia North America•Accenture•Tandberg•Joint IED Defeat Organization•Drash•Northrop Grumman
Top shelf attendees expect top shelf speakers and Air & Space delivers just that. The speaker lists for prior events include the Secretary and Chief of Staff of the Air Force as well as General Chilton and Google’s Dr. Neil Daswani.
The Air & Space Technology Exposition provides reasonable as well as meaningful exhibit hours with just over 22 hours of exhibit time spanning three days. 44% of these hours are non-compete hours, including two very popular and well attended receptions.
In 2009 Air & Space will be moving to the new Gaylord National Hotel and Convention Center where we will enjoy 105,000 square feet of exhibits and displays in one contiguous space with 24’ ceilings. Bring your pop-up, bring your double-decker.
