About Silicon Valley Space Week
Silicon Valley Space Week is a conference and symposium scheduled for 27-29 October 2026 at Computer History Museum, Mountain View in Mountain View, United States. Its scope brings satellite innovation, military satcom, commercial space and space investment into one programme, giving the event a clear primary identity rather than treating every adjacent aerospace or space subject as equivalent. Silicon Valley Space Week is built around presentations, panel or session discussions and peer and sector exchange, which clarifies what the event actually offers.
For satellite executives, commercial space companies and defence communications teams, MilSat Symposium offers specialist subjects in the context of the organisations, systems and decisions that use them. Silicon Valley Space Week also creates useful links between satellite innovation and military satcom, two areas that often need to be considered together in real projects. At Silicon Valley Space Week, the venue and programme should be read together because its conference and symposium format determines how the day is organised.
