Formerly held in November, the purpose of the workshop is to help individuals involved in the User Segment of the satcom field get accquainted with each other. It is designed to help attendees learn from the experiences of fellow satcom developers and entrepreneurs. Sharing ideas and exploring potential future areas of cooperation are often the most beneficial results of attending. In past workshops more than one participant has found that long sought after third party needed to make a project team complete.
The focus of the Applications Workshops is mainly to network with colleagues in this field. In the current economic climate, this is especially vital for start-ups and smaller companies. Exchanging information and offering support are some of the main activities. By attending, participants can find out exactly how others have solved the problems their company is only now encountering. About one hundred people are expected to attend the 'invitation only' event, which will be held in Newton Conference Room at the ESTEC facilities in Noordwijk Netherlands on September 22nd and 23rd. Remote participation, though no substitute for actually being there, will be possible via satellite.
