ISCe 2008 will be held from June 10th through June 12th, 2008, at a new location—the San Diego Marriott Hotel & Marina—with a comprehensive, joint industry program focusing on increasing opportunities for satellite and hybrid network solutions between commercial satellite operators and the military and U.S. government agencies.
In addition to the 7th-annual ISCe 2008 conference, the 26th-Annual AIAA International Communications Satellite Systems Conference (ICSSC) and the 2nd-annual Navy SATCOM Users Workshop are being held in conjunction with this event. Collectively, these three events will allow the military, satellite engineering and business development communities to interact and discuss the key issues, policies, challenges, and opportunities confronting the satellite industry now and into the next decade.
“This program has been crafted with the attendee in mind,” said conference Chairman David Bross. “Following our successful partnership with the AIAA during the ISCe 2006 conference and subsequent to last year’s hugely successful 1st-annual Navy SATCOM Users Workshop, the Advisory Board of ISCe made the decision to transform ISCe into the only world-class military-commercial satellite conference and exhibition held annually in the United States. This will be a can’t-miss event!”
