DESTINATION · USSRC / HUNTSVILLE, AL

Venue

Take the Con takes place at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama, where NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center developed the Saturn V.

Not a conference hotel or sterile event center, but a working space museum where you'll convene beneath a rocket and break between sessions among hardware that left the planet.
