The Rocky Mountain Technology Alliance will host the inauguration of the HIGH ALTITUDE AND NEAR SPACE CONFERENCE (HAAS) in Englewood, Colorado, October 19-21, at the Inverness Conference Center. The conference focuses on technological innovation within high altitude and near space, sometimes termed Stratospheric Operations. The theme of the conference is "KNOCKS OPPORTUNITY", due to the strategic opportunities that stratospheric technology brings to trade, voice and data, navigation, climate research, agriculture, disaster response, medical services, national security and more. It is considered the next frontier of marketing.
"In the last decade, technological innovation in materials, power generation, energy storage, propulsion and digital communications has led to many opportunities at the ALTA ALTITUDE OR NEAR SPACE SAND which are vast and varied," says , MajGen (Ret.) Bentley Rayburn. "These opportunities encompass not only national defense and security, but also disaster relief and humanitarian efforts, agriculture, atmospheric research, commercial broadband networks in areas Remote from the United States and the world, cellular communications, navigation and many more. And in many of these areas services are substantially improved at a reduced cost, â € ?? he continues.
"One of RMTA's initiatives is to continue to increase technology marketing opportunities and build more of a" technology habitat "along this western corridor, â € says Michael Semmens, president of RMTA. Conference has been created to discuss and collaborate on this ever evolving frontier bringing new and experienced minds to the table, â € he adds.
