Sponsor Profile: Cisco

A long-standing tradition at the National Space Symposium is the invitation-only Space Technology Hall of Fame® Private Induction Ceremony. Held on April 15 - the last evening of the four-day Symposium - the ceremony honors outstanding technologies developed for use in space that have been adapted to improve life on Earth. It is followed by the Space Technology Hall of Fame® Dinner, which is open to the much larger Symposium audience.

This year the private induction ceremony is sponsored by Cisco, a sponsoring Partner of the Space Foundation.
