The AIAA LA section presents an evening dinner with keynote John S. Spencer – Space Architect, Author, Developer and Founder/ President of the Space Tourism Society. John will speak about the emerging Space Experience Economy.

For decades the American aerospace industry has benefited from the synergistic relationship between three space experience mediums. They are: (1) real space exploration/ development, (2) Earth based tours of NASA Centers/space museums/space attractions and (3) the media via space themed movies, TV, games and virtual worlds. Together they represent the growing Space Experience Economy. Famous spokespeople such as Walt Disney, Walter Cronkite, Carl Sagan and Sir Richard Branson have also kept the public informed and excited about the potentials and wonders of space exploration.

Major non-space industries including hospitality, cruise lines,
extreme sports/racing, mega real estate developers, adventure
travel, yachting and advertising are seeing the space experience as
an exciting and futuristic theme to promote their brands to the
international market place and build stock value. We will explore
how SEE can be leveraged to grow and diversify our vital
aerospace industry and attract young talent to the field.
