Pittsburgh may not be the first city that comes to mind when most people think about the space industry—but it should be.

Join us for a special Huntington Bank Breakfast Briefing featuring John Thornton, Executive Vice President of Astrobotic, and John Baum, Executive Vice President of Strategy & Advanced Concepts at Voyager Technologies.

This conversation will look beyond individual missions to explore the rapidly developing commercial space economy and Pittsburgh’s opportunity to help shape it. What will it take to establish a sustained presence on the Moon? Where will the next wave of business opportunities emerge? And how can companies specializing in robotics, manufacturing, software, artificial intelligence, materials and energy become part of an industry they may not currently consider their own?

Following the program, guests will depart for a tour of the Moonshot Museum and an up-close look at the innovation positioning Pittsburgh at the forefront of lunar exploration.
