About YPSE

The Young Professionals, Students, and Educators Conference is our section’s main event each year. The goal of this conference extends the goals of our section as a whole. That is, we want to bring together students, educators, and young professionals from around the Mid-Atlantic region to share their work and make connections within the broader aerospace industry. We thank you for your interest in this event, and we hope you engage with the opportunity to expand your aerospace knowledge, share what you already know, and make lasting connections with peers.
