Since 2017, the Icon Awards have honored those companies, teams and individuals driving achievements across civil, commercial, and military space โ from transformative technologies to landmark deals to professional success.
Join us on Dec. 1 at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg Center in Washington, D.C., for an evening celebrating the innovators, collaborators and change-makers whose contributions have left a lasting mark on the industry.

In addition to recognizing this year’s winners, Space Force Gen. Michael Guetlein, direct reporting program manager for Golden Dome for America, will join us for a keynote address.
Your ticket includes a welcome reception and seat in the theater for our awards program.
