Hurricane Milton impacted the Tampa area on October 9th and 10th. As
recovery from the storm continues, the AMSAT Symposium team will be in
communication with hotel representatives as soon as possible to determine
whether the Symposium will be able to proceed as planned. We will let all
registrants know the status as soon as possible. If the in-person Symposium
is canceled, we will hold a virtual event on Saturday, October 26th.
The 42nd Annual AMSAT Space Symposium and Annual General Meeting will be
held on Friday through Saturday, October 25-26, 2024, at the DoubleTree by
