AIAA Propulsion and Energy Forum and Exposition (AIAA Propulsion and Energy Forum)
The 2020 AIAA Propulsion and Energy Forum will be held as a virtual conference in an online-only format 24–26 August. Information on the schedule, specific content, format, registration, refunds, and many other details will be available in the coming weeks. We appreciate your patience as we finalize the details for this virtual event.
AIAA recognizes that the face-to-face meeting is ideal for sharing research, ideas, and convening the community. Given the current challenges posed by COVID-19, we feel that the virtual forum format provides the best opportunity for the AIAA community to meet and share information. By removing some of the barriers to traditional forum attendance, including travel costs and time, the virtual forum format will enable greater participation from the aerospace community—traditional and nontraditional. We are excited to use this new format to accomplish AIAA’s mission of helping aerospace professionals and their organizations succeed.
Please follow @AIAA on Twitter for real-time updates. Should you have any questions, please contact us at [email protected].
