Air Force space and cyberspace summit to be held in August

The Air Force earlier this month announced plans to hold a pair of space and cyberspace technology innovation meetings in August.

The meetings are "seeking senior-level technical participants from industry, academia, and national laboratory research organizations," according to a July 6 notice posted on Federal Business Opportunities. "Industry includes large, middle-sized and small businesses."

The notice further states:

Following its initial, highly successful Space & Cyberspace Technology Innovation Summit in 2015, the Air Force Space Command (AFSPC) is proud to announce a similar, more robust event for 2016. The AFSPC Chief Scientist will again use a two-phased approach to this dialogue, with plans to conduct the Summit Phase One on 22-24 August 2016, and Phase Two the week of 26-30 September 2016. The venues are tentatively set for the MITRE facility (Phase One) in Colorado Springs, CO for Phase One, and the Air Force Warfare Center (SPACE) facility at Schriever AFB CO for Phase Two. Additional venue and event logistics details will be shared with announcement updates accordingly.
