AUGUST 31, 2020 (Diamond Bar, CA) With less than a month left until North America’s largest composites and advanced materials industry event, CAMX – the Composites and Advanced Materials Expo announces new updates to its 2020 virtual conference program.

Jim Bridenstine, the 13th Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), will present about the benefits of government agencies during trying times. Bridenstine will discuss why NASA still invests money into R&D to keep technology moving forward and how it sustains advancements during the down times. Bridenstine will tie together technology developments to advanced materials and materials development, and conclude with an overview of the opportunities for business development partnerships with NASA for large corporations as well as small businesses.

WHEN: Monday, September 21
TIME: 12:15 – 1:00 pm ET

Bridenstine joins a robust roster of experts at the year’s only virtual conference for the composites and advanced materials industry. Isabell Gradert, the Material Fast Track Leader at Airbus and general advisor for materials technology to the CTO, will be this years’ general session speaker. Gradert will be covering Airbus’ long-term sustainability ambition to be the world’s first aircraft manufacturer to market a zero-emission aircraft by 2035. She’ll explore how Airbus is getting there and the role materials and composite technologies will play.
