Steve Clemons has asked me to let you know about The Atlantic’s upcoming Innovation Summit next Tuesday, May 8th at Reagan National Airport. The day’s discussion will focus on what America needs to do to revitalize its manufacturing excellence. One of the central questions of the day’s program will be: “Will America be manufacturing sophisticated airplanes ten years from now if we don’t take action now to revitalize our education, R&D, and manufacturing sectors?”
He knows some of you may not be in the area, but if you’re in DC we would love for you to join us.
As a part of the day’s program, we will be offering the exclusive opportunity for our summit attendees to tour the new Boeing 787 Dreamliner on a space-available basis. If you are interested in attending the event, you may register by clicking on our event website.
If you are unable to attend but would like to watch the programming, you can watch the Innovation Summit live at: http://events.theatlantic.com/
Please note that for TSA purposes, we must have your registration completed by 9am EST, Friday, May 4.
We hope to see you May 8.
All best,
Melodie
