EMER-GEN®: Enhancing Your Career in Space

September 12-15, 2020

The EMER-GEN program includes mentoring by leaders in the space industry, including Doug Loverro, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Space Policy, DoD

The annual EMER-GEN® is a joint initiative of the AMOS Conference and SGAC. The program is designed especially for young professionals and students enthusiastic about careers in space.

Originally a 2+ day program, EMER-GEN has grown to include webinars before and after the main event with a focus on fostering innovation and entrepreneurship among the cohort. Through the whole program, participants will be challenged to solve/hack a problem to create new opportunities for space-based technologies.

Due to the impact of COVID-19 this year’s program will be entirely virtual.

With the help of advisers from industry, government, academia and NGOs, the EMER-GEN experience offers:

  • Mentoring with renowned space specialists from the public sector (military and civil), private sector, and nongovernmental organizations
  • Networking with other young professionals
  • Technical Short course presented by specialists in space situational awareness
  • Professional Development sessions to enhance your effectiveness in a global environment
