Theme: Innovation Drivers: Changing the Game in Aerospace

Description: Humankind has always yearned to soar above the clouds. The first attempts at building machinery to fly were recorded in the 14th century. It took centuries more to realize powered flight that took us beyond the clouds into space. The pace of aviation progress has since accelerated. Instead of evolution occurring in centuries, it happens in mere decades.

So how do we manage and influence the direction of fast-paced change? What is the next evolution transforming the industry? How do we ensure women have pivotal leadership roles in the next evolution? Join us to discuss these topics in this conference!
