2010 NASA Stennis Industry Day

NASA’s Stennis Space Center is one of the Gulf South’s little understood gems – this gem is focused on advancing technologies and serves as one of the nation’s largest federal cities. The Gulf Coast Government Contractors Association (GCGCA), in conjunction with the Mississippi Enterprise for Technology (MsET) and the Louisiana Technology Transfer Office (LTTO), would like to invite you to join us for NASA Stennis Industry Day.  The conference will be a forum for NASA and its current prime contractors to exchange information with others to provide a deeper understand of the many facets of support needed by NASA-SSC.  Learn more about current and upcoming opportunities to do business with NASA.

In attendance will be NASA administrators, executives, small business specialists from Stennis, Marshall and Johnson space centers and NASA’s prime contractors.
