We are thrilled to announce two new high-stakes keynote events at SATShow that will define the conversation on the opening days of the conference.

For years, the industry has buzzed with questions about Amazon’s massive satellite constellation (formerly known as Project Kuiper). Now, as it prepares to compete globally with Starlink, Rick Freeman, President of Amazon Leo, joins us to provide answers. On Monday, March 23^rd at 12:00pm ET, Rick Freeman will appear at our Opening Day Luncheon as our special guest keynote speaker. He will share exclusive milestones and future plans for the 3,200+ satellite constellation, exploring how Amazon is moving from concept to real-world broadband deployment.

This luncheon is generously sponsored by MDA Space and we are honored to have MDA Space CEO Mike Greenley deliver a welcome address to kick off Rick Freeman keynote.

In the wake of recent high-profile mobile network outages, the world has seen firsthand that Direct-to-Device (D2D) connectivity is not only a necessity in underserved regions, but also an invaluable backup for all global networks. Following the landmark October 2025 merger of Lynk Global and Omnispace, backed by SES (fresh off its own merger with Intelsat), we are bringing the architects of this new entity to the stage.

On Tuesday, March 24^th at 8:30am (before the Tuesday Opening General Session) SES CEO Adel Al-Saleh and Lynk Global CEO Ramu Potarazu will join special guest emcee Sarah Cruddas for a fireside chat focusing on strategic integration, market scale, and the inevitable D2D Evolution. It will be exciting for our attendees to learn about the long-term vision for this entity straight from the executive leaders who conceived the merger. I think we’re in for a surprise!

From the first public deep dive into Amazon Leo to the strategic vision behind the SES-Lynk-Omnispace powerhouse merger, these sessions are ones you cannot afford to miss. We expect both to be at full capacity.

We will have two more keynote announcements to make very soon!

I hope those of you who were hit by the giant winter storm in the Eastern U.S. are staying safe and warm! We look forward to seeing you in Spring in Washington D.C. (when it is hopefully a little warmer)!

Best regards,

Executive Chair, SATELLITE & GovMilSpace
