The conference was exceptionally beneficial to me because of the many subject matter experts and thought leaders in hypersonic technology speaking and participating on the panels. The keynote speakers were thought provoking and informative.

Great Event, Liked the variety of speakers.

Excellent experience and opportunity to meet and discuss hypersonic technology with industry experts and military program managers

It has been excellent!

I have enjoyed the sessions and speakers.
