Exciting Keynote Platform at the 2025 Zero Gravity Summit

The 2025 Zero Gravity Summit is firmly positioned as a pivotal gathering in the realms of aerospace, defense, technology, and energy innovation. This year, it proudly presents two distinguished keynote speakers: Jen Easterly, former Director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and Nikki Haley, the former U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations and Governor of South Carolina. Both will provide their perspectives during the event scheduled for November 4-5 at the Salt Palace Convention Center in Salt Lake City, Utah.

The summit aims to cover four significant areas that are critical for maintaining U.S. leadership in a quickly evolving global landscape. These domains include Defense Tech, The Future of Flight, The New Space Economy, and Energy Production Grid Security. Jen Easterly will focus on the intricate relationship between cybersecurity and innovation, providing insight into how to protect America's vital infrastructure from emerging threats. On the other hand, Nikki Haley will emphasize America’s role in global security, articulating how to safeguard U.S. interests on an international stage.

Utah has emerged as a leading ecosystem for aerospace and defense in the United States, recognized for its unprecedented growth in advanced manufacturing, space technology, cybersecurity, and energy systems. This state has established a network of collaboration with the Department of Defense, allowing innovative dual-use applications to thrive. These applications serve both civilian and military purposes, driving advancements that positively impact industries and communities alike.

President and CEO of 47G, Aaron Starks, expressed enthusiasm about the top-tier lineup of speakers. "Having Justin Easterly sharing her unrivaled cybersecurity expertise alongside Ambassador Nikki Haley's wealth of knowledge in global affairs will challenge and inspire attendees to rethink America’s strategies in innovation, security, and resilience," he said.

Building upon the sold-out success of its inaugural event in 2024, the 2025 Zero Gravity Summit is timely as it addresses the pressing issues of geopolitical tensions, energy security, and technological competition that are shaping the future landscape of America.

With a robust financial backing of $6.1 billion in annual contracts from the U.S. Department of Defense, Utah is poised to spearhead advancements in technologies critical to national security and economic sustainability.
