PHOENIX - eTradeWire -- The Arizona Technology Council today announced the inaugural Arizona Aerospace Summit, a flagship gathering of industry leaders from across the state taking place July 15, 2026, at the Tucson Convention Center.

The summit will accelerate collaboration and innovation throughout Arizona's growing aerospace economy while highlighting the state's expanding leadership in aerospace, aviation, space and defense.. Registration and sponsorship opportunities are available now.

This year's event marks a significant milestone as the Council brings together three previously separate industry gatherings into one summit: the Arizona Space Summit, which was formally transitioned to the Council by Arizona State University; the Advanced Air Mobility Summit; and the Arizona Aerospace, Aviation, Defense & Manufacturing Conference. The unified format is intended to strengthen cross-sector collaboration, elevate statewide dialogue and create a larger platform for industry growth.
