About the Event:
Most people have no idea how much space activity is happening in their own backyard. That’s what this night is about.
For Q3, Jax Tech is heading to orbit. We’re bringing together the founders, researchers, marketers, and operators building the future of space, from power infrastructure orbiting Earth to the fastest-growing sector you’ve probably never heard of. You’ll walk out seeing the industry and the opportunity in it differently.
Come if you’re an entrepreneur, a technologist, an astropreneur, a curious skeptic, or anyone who’s wondered what’s next for humanity beyond the atmosphere.
AWS + AI: Powering the Next Generation of Space Innovation:
Space runs on data, and there’s more of it every day. AWS is where a growing share of that data gets stored, processed, and turned into something useful, which is why it sits at the center of this conversation.
What AWS brings to space work:
- Scale space workloads securely in the cloud
- Process massive satellite data in near real time
- Speed up AI-powered mission insights and automation
- Build, test, and deploy faster with cloud-native tools
- Collaborate across commercial and government partners
Why it matters now: Space is becoming critical global infrastructure, and cloud lowers the barrier for startups and researchers building on top of it. AI turns ever-growing space data into value, and faster innovation opens commercial opportunities that didn’t exist a few years ago. The investments being made today are what shape tomorrow’s space economy.
As an event partner, AWS is bringing space and technology leaders together to collaborate on cloud-driven solutions that accelerate innovation across Jacksonville.

Why Attend?
Meet the people actually building it. Founders, operators, and researchers running real space companies out of Jacksonville, in one room, not on a panel livestream.
See where the money and momentum are going. A grounded read on the sectors that are growing, from satellite infrastructure to space hospitality, and where the openings are.
Find your on-ramp. If you’ve ever thought “there’s an opportunity here,” you’ll leave with a sense of where to start: NASA tech you can license, businesses being built around the space economy, and who to talk to next.
Connect with the Jacksonville tech scene. Investors, advisors, technologists, and founders worth knowing, plus a rooftop, a DJ, and enough time to actually talk to them.
You don’t need a background in aerospace. You need to be curious about what’s next.
