SIG Members’ Meeting
2026-02-17 16:00 - 2026-02-19 08:30 (Europe/London) | Online
SIG is starting the year with two Members’ Meetings, and you are invited to join us on either 17th February at 16:00PM GMT or 19th February at 08:30AM GMT.
The meeting is a chance for members to provide feedback on membership and take part in an informal discussion on the hot topics and find out more about what SIG is planning throughout 2026.
In addition to the events calendar, SIG will also host a series of Podcasts and Tech Forums during 2026. We welcome members to join this meeting to help inform and provide insight on what we should be discussing on these platforms. Additionally, there is also the opportunity for SIG and its members to provide their voice to opinion articles in the satcom trade press, with previous features on AI and STEM, so topics discussed during the meeting will help inform the content we’d like to see in the media.
There are two meeting times to accommodate different time zones, and we hope you are able to join us for one. Please register for the meeting you wish to join.
Joining instructions will be sent ahead of your selected meeting date.
We look forward to seeing you online.
