To our SATELLITE community,
The SATELLITE team and I thank you all for joining us this year for an amazing week in Washington, DC. We know how busy you are in your work and are grateful that you chose to invest your time in our event.
SATELLITE 2024 hosted more attendees and exhibitors than any previous SATELLITE event in the show’s 43-year history, helping us break our attendance record! The most exciting statistic for us was discovering that one-third of attendees were attending the event for the first time. Many of these first-time attendees were coming from industries outside of satellite and space technology, which speaks to the growth of our community.
I was able to spend a lot of time in the exhibit hall this year, meeting new exhibitors, leading guided tours, and watching conference sessions in our brand-new Via Satellite Theater. It was exciting to see how busy everyone was, by the fact that most of you reported that you were in meetings with customers throughout the week. That is exactly what we’re here for – to help you network with new customers and grow your businesses. I’m also very happy to see that the new conference programming we put on in the Exhibit Hall was a success, with multiple sessions being standing-room only.
We hope you enjoyed your experience at SATELLITE 2024! We welcome your feedback from this past week and would love to hear your ideas for next year. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us directly to share your thoughts.
Thank you for making the trip to DC and being with us for an incredibly successful event. We look forward to working with you throughout the year and seeing you again at SATELLITE 2025, March 10-13!
Sincerely,
Jeffrey Hill
Executive Chairman, SATELLITE 2024
