SATShow Week is the satellite industry’s most comprehensive and globally recognized experience, bringing together commercial leaders, engineers, government and military decision-makers, innovators, and end-users for a week of business, insight, and collaboration in Washington, D.C. Conveniently timed as the first major satellite event of the year, SATShow Week sets the tone for what’s next in global connectivity, policy, and innovation. It’s where commercial opportunity meets public-sector mission — and where major deals, ideas, and partnerships take off. At the center of it all is SATELLITE, the largest and most inclusive satcom event in the world. From the ground to orbit, SATELLITE showcases the technologies, applications, and people pushing the boundaries of what’s possible – including technical professionals solving complex challenges through the all-new Tech Seminar. Running in tandem is GovMilSpace, a dedicated event for defense, intelligence, and government professionals. Curated by Defense Daily, GovMilSpace facilitates actionable, focused dialogue on national security priorities spanning space-based intelligence, ISR, data and imagery exploitation, cybersecurity, policy, and resilient space architectures. No other event draws this level of participation from every vertical, public and private – or creates this much business under one roof. This is where the satellite community connects, partners, and builds the roadmap for the year ahead.
