SATShow Week 2027 will take place March 8‑11 at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC. The four‑day gathering brings together commercial innovators, government and military decision‑makers, and end‑users from more than 110 countries, creating the industry’s largest and most inclusive satellite communications experience. Anchored by the flagship SATELLITE event and complemented by the dedicated GovMilSpace forum, the program is designed to spark critical conversations, accelerate partnerships, and enable business transactions across the commercial, civil, and defense sectors.

The agenda combines plenary sessions, technical seminars, exhibition tours, and networking activities. Attendees can build a custom agenda through the event mobile app, select from the CyberSat Exchange, the Tech Seminar, and the Startup Pavilion, and participate in guided tours of the exhibit hall. The exhibition features a QUADSAT preview, a startup space, and a comprehensive sponsor and exhibitor directory. Additional formats include the GovMilSpace prospectus sessions, which provide a trusted forum for mission‑critical dialogue among government and military stakeholders, and the SATELLITE Tech Seminar, focused on emerging satellite communications technologies and commercial space solutions.

Key speakers illustrate the breadth of expertise represented. Dr. Debra L. Emmons, Vice President and Chief Technology Officer of The Aerospace Corporation, will discuss the company’s technology strategy, the $60 million internal R&D program, and the role of commercial solutions in advancing U.S. space missions. Taylor Jordan, Director of NOAA’s Office of Space Commerce, will address strategic direction for environmental observation, numerical weather prediction, satellite programs, and the integration of uncrewed systems into large‑scale acquisitions. Bridgit Mendler, CEO and Co‑Founder of Northwood Space, will present the startup’s vision for a mass‑producible “data highway” of satellite ground stations aimed at eliminating current bottlenecks in space‑to‑Earth data transmission.

Program topics span satellite communications architecture, government and military mission requirements, commercial space futures, data‑centric services, environmental modeling, and innovative acquisition models. The event also offers a Young Professionals registration track, premium passes, and media‑press sessions, ensuring access for emerging talent and industry influencers. Exhibitors and
