The General Chair for the 40th Space Congress is Kevin Hoshstrasser, Florida Operations Site Director of Engineering for The Boeing Company. "This is an exciting year for Space Congress as we celebrate several significant milestones," comments Hoshstrasser. "The topics to be addressed by this year's Congress will provide broad insight into government and civilian space initiatives, new technologies, and serve as the forum for professionals to share technical developments as well as discuss issues from a global perspective that face the space community at large."

The annual event provides a forum for space professionals to meet and share their knowledge of technical areas and issues facing the space program.
