Executive Chair Mark Lewis AIAA President 20102011

Dear Colleague, AIAA is pleased to extend a personal invitation for you to join us at the Aerospace Sciences Meeting (ASM), New Horizons Forum, and Aerospace Exposition, to be held 912 January 2012 in Nashville, Tennessee at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center. This year is of particular importance as we look back and celebrate the previous 50 years of the Aerospace Sciences Meeting.

General Chair Abdollah Khodadoust The Boeing Company

For 50 years, ASM has brought together aerospace scientists and engineers from around the world to share their ideas and research in a broad array of topics related to aerospace systems. The meeting is built around excellent technical paper presentations, plenary sessions, exhibits, distinguished lectures, and networking opportunities. The theme for the New Horizons Forum is Transforming Air and Space Transportation for the Future. Keynote speakers from government and industry will share their perspectives on new challenges, future opportunities, and emerging trends. The Forum will also feature panel discussions with leaders from industry, government, and academia addressing current issues and future directions in aerospace technology research and development, as well as in STEM education. The Aerospace Exposition provides an opportunity for companies to display a wide array of aerospace technology as well as deliver special presentations throughout the day on Tuesday and Wednesday on the Exposition Hall Presentation Stage. We are expecting over 2,000 attendees to this years conference. You wont want to miss the special sessions celebrating the 50th Anniversary and the meetings historical moments.
