About GovMilSpace

Built around how defense and intelligence actually operate.

If your company sells technology, services, or solutions to government, military, or intelligence customers, GovMilSpace is the most direct path to the room where those decisions get made. The GovMilSpace Pavilion sits on the exhibit hall floor alongside 450+ SATELLITE x GovMilSpace exhibitors, putting your brand directly in front of the acquisition leaders and technical teams who matter most to your pipeline.

No other satellite event delivers this concentration of government, military, and intelligence stakeholders. All of them are actively evaluating, specifying, or approving solutions like yours.

A purpose-built environment.

GovMilSpace is not a side track bolted onto a commercial event. It is a dedicated pavilion and program designed around how government and military professionals evaluate and acquire capability, not how vendors sell it.

Built around the acquisition cycle.

The program addresses active contract vehicles, evolving mission requirements, and the policy and technical realities of the defense space market. Attendees arrive with context. Exhibitors get a room full of buyers who already understand the landscape.

Access the full SATShow Week market.

GovMilSpace runs inside SATShow Week: 15,000+ attendees, 450+ exhibitors, one registration. Your exhibit or sponsorship puts you in front of the defense community and the global satellite market at the same time.
