The Space Intelligence Conference designed for the Intelligence Community at the TS/SCI level.
November 1 - 2, 2023
Registration is now closed.
The late Martin “Marty” C. Faga was an intelligence community pioneer, industry innovator and tremendous public servant serving the national security of the United States and the free world. His leadership within the space community revolutionized the way intelligence agencies, military service branches and industry could work together to safeguard freedom from threats known and evolving. His work built relationships between service branches, intelligence agencies, American allies, and industry; secured American interests abroad and liberties at home; and served as a model and legacy to follow.
