Building the Texas Frontier: Space, Autonomy and Energy

​The Austin Frontier Convergence
Space, Autonomy, Energy & the Texas Community
Petrol Lounge | Austin, Texas

​Join us at Petrol Lounge for an evening of conversation and connection featuring leaders from SpaceX, Blue Origin, CesiumAstro, Firefly Aerospace and Saronic, alongside Jonathan Siegmann, Managing Director covering Aerospace & Defense at Stifel.

​Our opening conversation, “From Prototype to Production,” will explore what it takes to turn ambitious technology into dependable systems, and how Texas can support the people, infrastructure and partnerships behind that progress.

​We’ll discuss the challenges connecting aerospace, autonomous systems, advanced manufacturing and energy, from building strong teams and scaling production to finding customers and securing the resources to grow.

​Petrol Lounge’s automotive setting brings engineering and performance into the room, creating a fitting backdrop for an evening with people who build, invest in and appreciate exceptional machines.

​Following the discussion, we’ll open networking over small bites to explore the wider Texas community: the founders, engineers, operators, investors and local leaders whose relationships help new ideas move forward. Expect thoughtful introductions, time to exchange perspectives and opportunities to discover where your work intersects with someone else’s.
