“From Demo to Dollars: Why Promising Space Companies Still Hit a Wall on the Way to a Program of Record”
August 25 @ 11:30 am – 1:30 pm
Join WSBR on August 25th for a Luncheon Discussing the demo to program transition
Washington Space Business Roundtable (WSBR) invites you to join us Tuesday, August 25 for a panel discussion featuring:
- Clive Cook, Precursor
- Tahara Dawkins, Astroscale U.S.
- David Turner, Former Senior Professional Staff Member, Space and Science Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation
- Col. Dan Urban, United States Space Force
- Moderated by Theresa Hitchens, Breaking Defense
Senior military officials, civilian agency leaders, and members of Congress routinely emphasize the urgency of bringing fast-moving, innovative space companies on as government customers, and of fielding new capabilities at speed. Yet many of the same companies that successfully demonstrate a capability — through a prototype, pilot, or Commercial Solutions Opening award — hit a wall when they try to convert that success into a sustained program of record or a durable, funded requirement. Innovation has no defined requirements!
This panel will unpack why the “demo-to-program” transition remains so difficult, and what concrete, practical fixes could unstick it.
We look forward to your attendance and participation in what promises to be a dynamic discussion.
registration closes on Friday, August 21st at 3:00pm ET.
