Networking

“A must-attend event.” “Best place to interact with relevant players in the industry.” “Excellent diversity in attendees”

Face-to-face interaction is a crucial part of any event, be it an organic connection on the show floor, a quick chat via the mobile app, or joining fellow attendees at a formal reception. With thousands of satellite communications professionals attending SATELLITE every year, this is your chance to maximize your time and travel by meeting with everyone under one roof! 

Of the SATELLITE attendees who come with the objective to network, nearly nine in ten leave feeling they were successful.

The audience at SATELLITE is from a wide array of markets including transportation, enterprise and consumer industries, government and military, and finance, bringing fresh views and new insights to the conversation.
