Of late, space has become a dynamic sector. Jeff Bezos tweeted the success of his reusable launch rocket in November with Elon Musk responding accordingly - two billionaires trying to one up one another "in space."

With government and commercial development of space converging, we are starting to see new entrants into the market place, new business models being explored, even increased amounts of private and venture capital deployed. This panel brings together leaders of the San Diego space sector to discuss some of these developments and engage in a dynamic and educational dialogue to broaden and deepen the understanding of the business of space.

Panelists:

  • Mr. Dave Strobel, President, Space Micro Systems
  • Dr. Michael Wiskerchen, Founder, Space Venture Holdings, Emeritus Faculty; Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering, UCSD
  • Mr. Steve Harrington, CEO, Flometrics Inc.
  • Mr. Carl Sloan, Vice President/GM, Vanguard Space Systems
  • Mr. Jesse Gipe (Moderator), San Diego Economic Development Corporation
