One more week until SATELLITE 2018!

It’s hard to believe that SATELLITE week starts in less than seven days, but here we are!  It’s been a whirlwind time both in preparation for SATELLITE and in the satellite community.  Markets and industries across the board are either coming online or exploring ways to be more connected, and satellite technology is poised to make it a reality.

Next week, we’re welcoming thousands of veterans from our satellite community to Washington D.C., but we’re also saying hello to thousands of first-timers to SATELLITE!  Our audience is growing and becoming even more diverse; here is a sneak peek at some companies who have representatives attending for the first time:
