Join the next generation of satellite industry leaders for four days of networking, innovation, and career-defining moments at SATShow Week.
Welcome to a community where connections matter and careers thrive. SATShow Week is your space to network with peers and mentors, discover new opportunities, and be part of conversations shaping the satellite industry, all while having fun along the way.
Connect with fellow young professionals who get it—the challenges, the excitement, the ambition. Meet mentors who remember being where you are and peers who are navigating the same journey.
Access insights from industry leaders, learn from cutting-edge startups, and exchange ideas with professionals who are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in satellite communications.
Whether you’re finding your footing or gaining momentum, SATShow Week gives you the tools, connections, and confidence to accelerate your career and make your mark in the industry.
Four days packed with opportunities to connect, learn, and grow. Here’s what awaits you.
Monday marks the official kickoff of SATShow Week and the first opportunity to get onsite, get oriented, and start connecting.
Badge pickup opens Monday, March 23, at 7:30 a.m. in the West Salon (Street Level). For Conference and Exhibit Hall Pass holders, we strongly recommend picking up your badge to avoid lines later in the week.
Conference Pass holders can begin attending sessions on Monday, making it a great day to arrive, check in, and jump straight into programming. Take time to review the agenda, plan your must-attend sessions, and start scheduling meetings before calendars fill.
As SATShow Week comes to a close, use the final day to strengthen connections. Stop by exhibitor booths for follow-up conversations, revisit solutions that stood out, and use the Mobile App/Event Hub to book any last-minute meetings before the week wraps.
If you’re early in your career or focused on staying current with the industry, start with the Exhibit Hall. The Exhibit Hall Pass is a strong place to begin. It gives you access to 450+ exhibitors on the show floor, product demos, Unveiled and Space Domain Theater programming, and peer networking across SATShow Week.
