Agenda
The 26th National Space Symposium agenda covers every aspect of space. Starting with Cyber 1.0 on April 12 (see related article in this issue of Space Watch) and continuing on to the new generation closing reception (and all-around good time) Thursday night, the Symposium delves into topics as diverse as the intersection of space and cyber, congressional viewpoints, Wall Street's take on space, the role of the National Reconnaissance Office (then and now), the space-based value chain, space debris, why we fly, and the "next big thing."

It's jam-packed with special events, including presentation of prestigious Space Foundation awards (see article on the Hill Award and on the Morrow Award in this issue of Space Watch), a high-octane Opening Ceremony featuring Barrage, and the Space Technology Hall of Fame Dinner featuring actor Leonard Nimoy. This is all punctuated with the AGS Exhibit Center featuring 140 organizations and some of the coolest space stuff on the planet, entertaining and educational programs for teachers and students, and a whole series of special events for the newest generation of space professions.
