The Mississippi Enterprise for Technology, or MSET, and the Aerospace and Defense Alliance of Mississippi, known as ADAM, are partnering with Ole Miss to present the second annual Mississippi Aerospace and Defense Symposium, April 30-May 2.

The event, as announced by Ole Miss, will connect industry, academia and the public sector in the hopes of creating new opportunities.

The goal of the symposium is to help develop the aerospace and defense industry in Mississippi, said Davis Pace, MSET President and CEO. The three-day symposium will include speakers and panelists such as Gov. Tate Reeves, U.S. Sen. Roger Wicker and Col. Christian Patterson, U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center commander, alongside representatives from NASA, the Mississippi Air National Guard and others.
