Cybersecurity Symposium
5 June 2017, Denver, CO
As aircraft become fully digitized, cybersecurity risks increase. Using the fictional company Baudelaire Aerospace as a target, participants will work with cybersecurity experts to study Baudelaire’s weak security links, identify risks, and develop a strategy to protect the company assets from cyberattack. Register for only the symposium, or as included in your AIAA AVIATION Forum.

Transformational Electric Flight Workshop and Expo
7–9 June
Learn about new electric propulsion technologies that transforming flight. Experts from around the world will talk about the newest technologies in propulsion, airframe design and batteries, and explore the intersection of information integration, deep learning and aviation. Discover the efforts to refine an industry roadmap for emerging powered lift aircraft utilizing electric/hybrid power and distributed propulsion.
