Greetings Hobby Rocket Enthusiasts,
Welcome to the NAR’s annual, all virtual conference- vNARCON!
vNARCON is where rocketeers of all stripes share technical information about model and high power rocketry, electronics, construction techniques, competition, and commercial space. Co-Event Directors, Ed LaCroix and Todd Schweim want NAR members, educators, and the general public to know that anyone can purchase tickets and watch/participate in all three days of vNARCON!
At this time, Todd and I are still gathering presenters. But here are a couple of important announcements to wet your appetite.
On Friday the 27th, there will be an evening keynote by Kip Daugirdas about MESOS, a high power rocket that after 3 years of development flew to nearly 300,000 ft! Kip is going to share in great detail, what it took to make this incredible flight and what he learned along the way.
After Kip’s keynote, the ever popular Bob Sanford will again host ManuFacts– a manufacturer forum where representatives of rocket companies from across the country will talk about their latest and greatest products,
On Saturday the 28th, vNARCON is when all the major action happens with 15 breakout sessions planned from a diverse list of presenters. Details to follow soon.
But this you must know now… The Saturday night keynote will be one not to miss! We am thrilled to announce that the Everyday Astronaut – Tim Dodd, will be our speaker. His keynote titled, “What will happen in Spaceflight by 2030” is sure to inform and surprise us with Tim’s insights into the who, what, where, and when of upcoming spaceflights.
That’s what we can tell you for the moment. But there are many exciting and informative presentations being finalized. One things to keep in mind. After vNARCON 2023 concludes, ticket holders will have exclusive access to all recorded material; including sessions, tours, and keynote speakers at the Accelevents website for 90 days!
Check back regularly as the information here will change and we will be providing more presenter information. Registration is Open!
