Robert D. Braun, University of Colorado Boulder
Lecture: “Space Technology: An investment in our future.”
Following the lecture, network with fellow attendees during a lunch reception and have the opportunity to speak with Braun. Sponsored by Lockheed Martin Corporation.
How are Aerospace Innovations helping communities fight the various problems our world is facing today? Why is this so important to talk about right now? Why are we dedicating our resources to these types of projects and what will this mean for the future? This panel will explore these questions and more as experts talk through why innovations in aerospace technology are helping to build resilient communities on our home planet.
There is a lot of energy around developing and using tools offered by the concept of artificial intelligence. Especially prevalent in the aerospace industry is the desire to use machine learning in a number of roles. The experts on the panel will describe in depth how AI could be applied in emerging manufacturing applications, ranging from materials processing and inspection, cooperative robotic manufacturing and flexible factories, to remote manufacturing and assembly which may include recycling and mining. In all of these cases, the goal is to require very minimal human interaction and instruction, even to the point of describing what is desired rather than writing and instruction set about how to produce the desired part. During the panel session, concepts for applying AI in the varying phases of manufacturing will be introduced.
Leaders in the aerospace industry will take time to meet with the Rising Leaders participants and share their experiences. This event is a great way to get insight and make new contacts.

The Women of Aeronautics and Astronautics and the Diversity Working Group invite students and young professionals to attend a networking breakfast where you’ll have the opportunity to hear introductions from all the mentors and then visit with several mentors of your choice for a deeper conversation.
Six areas of space activity are supporting societal needs, as defined by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, including earth observation, communication, positioning, microgravity research, technology transfer, and fundamental research. While progress has been made, barriers still remain that limit the application of space technology as a tool for advancing sustainable development. Hear how the Space Enabled Research Group works to increase the opportunities to design and apply space technology in support of the Sustainable Development Goals with societal leaders from around the world.
Hear about current activities, planning, and programming for the upcoming P&E Forum in New Orleans, LA. Offer your feedback and ideas.
Middle School Students from The Weiss School, escorted by members of the AIAA Palm Beach Section, will present the latest developments of their BLUECUBE Aerospace High School CubeSat Project.
Join us for a four-legged meet-and-greet! Attendees will have the opportunity to interact with puppies from Pet Rescue By Judy. Animal-assisted interventions (AAI) can have a significant, positive impact on human health and well-being, so clear some time to recharge with puppy therapy.
At the same time, the HUB will be showing the Apollo 11 documentary featuring never-before-seen footage and audio recordings that take you into the heart of NASA’s historic mission. Popcorn will be provided.
