Your Insider Guide to Maximizing SATELLITE & GovMilSpace!

With 15,000+ professionals from 110+ countries, SATShow Week isn’t just an event, it’s your opportunity to connect, collaborate, and take your business to the next level. From the buzzing exhibit hall to high-impact conference sessions and exclusive networking moments, a lot is happening all week long. And we get it, figuring out where to be, how to prep, and what you absolutely can’t miss can feel overwhelming.

That’s why we’re here.

This guide is your go-to resource for navigating SATELLITE & GovMilSpace like a pro, featuring insider tips from the team that organizes the event. Inside, you’ll find practical advice on attendee strategies, networking hacks, and ways to make the most of every moment, whether you’re making connections in the Meeting Hub, exploring Washington DC, or joining a Tech Seminar session on Enabling Enterprise and The AI-Powered Network of the Future. The best part? You can’t go wrong. We’ve built an agenda designed to maximize your time, no matter how you plan your week.

And there’s plenty to experience beyond the Convention Center, too. Washington, D.C. offers everything from scenic monument walks to cultural must-sees like the National Air and Space Museum, plus an incredible dining and nightlife scene. Many SATShow attendees can also take advantage of exclusive discounts around the city. Just present your badge at participating vendors.

One more thing: be on the lookout for registration opening soon for the 5k Fun Run—a fun run or walk through D.C.’s most iconic landmarks happening Wednesday morning, welcoming participants of all paces and fitness levels.
