Ignite the “Meet”ing

Nothing can be more intimidating than being a newcomer or young person at a conference or event where everyone already knows one another! Learn tips and techniques on networking and relationship building that will make your forum experience more enjoyable and productive. The session will focus on creating an introduction, understanding how to engage with others, playing off the unique networking styles of introverts and extroverts, and some “dos and don’ts” of networking. Then participants will take part in an activity designed to foster quick friendships so they never enter a forum session or reception feeling like a stranger.

Trivia Night

What percent of the universe is dark matter? What are the main parts of a comet? Take trivia to a new altitude with AIAA! Join us for a night of fun and compete for prizes with other students and young professionals. We’ll also livestream the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launch. Light snacks and desserts will be provided. Each player will also be provided one drink ticket.* Boost your chances of winning by bringing your friends and forming a team.

*The bar will be cash only after one drink. IDs will be checked to assure attendees seeking service or in possession of any alcoholic beverage are legally able to do so.
