About this Event

We are excited to announce the second Aerospace & Defense Symposium, taking place at the Stanford Graduate School of Business on Wednesday, March 04, 2026.

We’ll hear from those working on the edge to push technology forward in areas such as space infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, mesh networking, AI-enabled hardware and software - and more. These founders are not only making progress for national security, but are driving innovation in manufacturing, logistics, and AI.

Stanford has a rich legacy of driving impact at the cutting edge of space, defense, and dual-use technologies. Join us for an afternoon of building on that legacy - learning from experts to networking with others in the field.

Capacity is limited; please purchase your tickets in advance. Complete agenda to be announced soon.
