Dear Colleague,

We would like to invite you to attend the 11th Annual Space and Missile Defense Conference & Exhibition from August 11-14, 2008 at the Von Braun Center in Huntsville, Alabama. The theme of this year’s conference is Space & Missile Defense...the Next 50 Years.

Last year, almost 6,400 professionals from across the United States and around the world attended the SMD Conference. Event sponsors include the Air Space & Missile Defense Association (ASMDA); National Defense Industrial Association-Tennessee Valley Chapter (NDIA-TVC); and the Air Defense Artillery Association-Huntsville Chapter (ADAA).

This year’s SMD Conference will have a greater international emphasis than in previous years, including ballistic missile defense in Europe and Japan. The conference will also emphasize a “Joint” nature, with each service well represented and their contributions spotlighted. Because of the current world situations and national occurrences, it is vitally important to understand how missile defense and space technologies are contributing to the success of warfighters around the globe. We believe you will benefit from the growing space emphasis that you will see reflected by the speakers. Exhibits and presentations on topics such as future technologies, command and control with and without our allies, increasing roles in each of the services, space protection and persistent surveillance will explore these issues with attendees.

The 2008 SMD Conference promises to be the best yet, with stimulating, informative presentations and training sessions, hundreds of industry and government exhibits, and the ultimate opportunity to network with your peers. To make the conference the most successful yet, we need you there.

We look forward to seeing you in August at the 2008 Space & Missile Defense Conference & Exhibition.
