1 AIR FORCE ASSOCIATION’S 2021 VIRTUAL AEROSPACE WARFARE SYMPOSIUM

Welcome

On behalf of 95,000 Air Force Association members worldwide, welcome to our Aerospace Warfare Symposium.

This symposium breaks exciting new ground.

First, it bears a new name: AFA’s “AEROSPACE Warfare Symposium,” reflecting our excitement in welcoming the Guardians of the United States Space Force, who join tens of thousands of Air Force Airmen in expanding their knowledge and capabilities by attending our events. The symposium focus also reinforces our absolute commitment to the Department of the Air Force in supporting, with our industry partners, our Air and Space warfighters to deter and, when necessary, defeat America’s enemies in the air, space, and cyber domains.

Second, this year’s symposium theme, “Accelerate and Innovate: Actualizing the Nation’s Need for Dominant Air and Space Forces” features a record-breaking 40 sessions with the topmost Air Force and Space Force leaders, industry experts, and aerospace professionals.

Third, this year we debut a new kind of interactive conversation, 15 Mission Domain Engagement Sessions, which will be presented live each afternoon. These conversations feature industry experts moderated by military and civilian defense leaders.

Finally, we will host our first-ever Mission Domain Hub, offering participants access to topically organized interactive demonstrations, videos, and other content from the world’s leading aerospace and technology firms.

More than half of the sessions will be live-streamed each day, including fireside chats with General Charles Q. Brown Jr., Air Force Chief of Staff; and The Honorable John Roth, Acting Secretary of the Air Force.

Sharing the stage with Chief of Space Operations General John W. “Jay” Raymond will be the renowned Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson, head of the Hayden Planetarium and research associate of the Department of Astrophysics at the American Museum of Natural History.

We will also hear from the highest-ranking enlisted member of the Department of the Defense, SEAC Ramon Colon- Lopez, the Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force JoAnne Bass; and the newly titled Chief Master Sergeant of the United States Space Force Roger Towberman.

Throughout this Symposium, we invite you to learn more about our Air Force Association and how much you can benefit from becoming a member yourself. Joining AFA is a valuable way to expand the professional development of every Airman, Guardian, and aerospace industry professional.

Thank you for being here.

Gerald R. Murray Bruce "Orville" Wright Chairman of the Board President
