2026 Global Aerospace Summit

Wednesday, August 19, 2026 12:00 PM - Thursday, August 20, 2026 12:00 PM (CDT)

Description

The 2026 Global Aerospace Summit builds on the strong momentum of its inaugural year, which welcomed more than 230 attendees, over 140 job seekers, along with participation from a Governor, a Congresswoman, and companies representing more than 10 states and Canada -- truly making it a global event.

This year’s Summit promises to be even bigger and more impactful, offering a deeper dive into the aerospace industry of today and tomorrow. A variety of panel discussions will bring together industry leaders from Boeing, Gulfstream Aerospace Corp., West Star Aviation, Scott Air Force Base, the Sustainable Aviation Fuels Institute and other leading organizations for insightful discussions on topics ranging from alternative fuels and unmanned aerial vehicles to aerospace manufacturing trends & opportunities.

Attendees can also once again take advantage of exclusive tours and unparalleled networking opportunities -- including the chance to experience high-speed laps at World Wide Technology Raceway, the same track used by NASCAR and INDYCAR, reaching speeds of over 120 mph.

With valuable insights, meaningful connections, and unique experiences -- all at an accessible price point -- this is an event you won’t want to miss.

We are once again partnering with the Scott Air Force Base Military & Family Readiness Center to host a career fair on August 19 from 10:00am - 2:00pm. You can register for a booth below.

If you are coming from outside the area we have a hotel block set up at the adjoining Hampton Inn & Suites in O'Fallon. You can call the Hampton directly at 618-589-9006 to book or use this link: Leadership Council Global Aerospace Summit
