Mentor Roundtable Lunch

​Join STATION Austin and SWIFT (Space Workforce Incubator for Texas) for an engaging roundtable conversation exploring Texas’ rapidly expanding space economy, the opportunities emerging across the industry, and the critical role workforce development will play in shaping its future.

We’ll hear from Geoff Tudor, Dr. Leon Vanstone, and Heather Wagner Reed, co-founders of SWIFT, a nonprofit initiative dedicated to building the next generation of aerospace talent through education, hands-on training, and industry collaboration. They’ll share insights into the exciting momentum behind Texas’ growing space ecosystem, the challenges and opportunities ahead, and how entrepreneurs, businesses, and community leaders can help fuel the next frontier of innovation.
