We’ll be starting with morning refreshments after registration. The first presentation will be from our keynote speaker, Karen McRitchie, on ‘Best in Class Costing Systems’ before jumping into a special presentation from Romania High School’s International Space Development Conference (ISDC) team. The team won second place in the National Space Society-run competition in May 2023 for their design of a permanent space settlement.

Lunch will be provided to all attendees before a trip to Long Beach Airport’s Art-Deco Historic Terminal, where we will get a tour of “one of the ten most beautiful airports in the world” (BBC, 2014). The terminal is full of art-deco murals and mosaic floors, one of which was just uncovered this year after renovations (picture below). Please note, closed-toe shoes are required for the tour.

Upon returning to the Boeing facility, we will hear from Conner Lawston, who will be briefing ‘Generative AI for Government.’ Then we’ll break out into small groups for discussions on topics like ‘Finding Usable Cost Data,’ ‘How and When to Utilize AI in Cost Estimating,’ and ‘Digital Engineering.’ Our final wrap-up for the day will include door prize giveaways!
