P&E Meeting Key Notes

• P&E Meeting held Sunday July 31st

• Main discussion on results of a “Tiger Team” on reorganizing AIAA conferences.

4

Resulting Proposed Baseline Conferences

• “Aerospace Sciences and Technology” Conference (ASTC) – January Meeting• Similar to the conference currently known as ASM• Technology core with added R&D outlook and workforce issues• ASTC 2013 – January 7-11, 2013, Grapevine, TX*

• “Aviation 20XX” Conference – Late Spring / Early Summer Meeting• Focused on the aviation domain• Aviation 2013 – May 13-17, 2013, Boston, MA*

• “Space 20XX” Conference – Late Summer / Early Fall Meeting• Focused on the space domain• Space 2013 – July 15-19, 2013, San Jose, CA*• Considering leaving this meeting in Southern California due to strong ties to local sponsors (SMC, JPL)

and the brand this has created for this conference

• “Aerospace Defense Forum” (ADF) – Late Fall/ Winter Meeting• U.S. Only with Restricted/Classified Sessions Combines StratTac, Missile Sciences, WSE, and adds in restricted sessions on guidance, propulsion,

structures, and other disciplines Requires further investigation into locations capable of supporting a 500 person conference of this type

*Possible conference timing scenarios available through current contract opportunities
