SATELLITE 2019\u2019s conference program features more end-user speakers from more enterprise and commercial markets than any previous show in its 38-year history.<\/p>\n<p>Some of these speakers represent companies that are investing in space capabilities as business tools, and actively searching for innovative services such as data collection, global communications, pure bandwidth, weather monitoring, analytics, and more. Some of these fresh new faces are coming to SATELLITE to discuss dynamic shifts in tech culture and business. They will ask questions such as, \u201cHow can we cultivate diversity among decision makers?,\u201d \u201cHow can we attract and retain young talent?,\u201d or \u201cHow can we make our operations more efficient and sustainable?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" src=\"https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/ouDpG4fQ9G9OXOmEpJpH_VS_050119_Cover_DGTL-1-300x225.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"\" style=\"width: 120px; height: auto;\" decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/ouDpG4fQ9G9OXOmEpJpH_VS_050119_Cover_DGTL-1-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/ouDpG4fQ9G9OXOmEpJpH_VS_050119_Cover_DGTL-1-800x599.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/ouDpG4fQ9G9OXOmEpJpH_VS_050119_Cover_DGTL-1-640x480.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/ouDpG4fQ9G9OXOmEpJpH_VS_050119_Cover_DGTL-1.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\">\t\t\t<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"fs-5 mt-0\">Explore the May 2019 Issue<\/h3>\n<p class=\"mb-0 fs-smaller text-balance\">Check out more from this issue and find your next story to read.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<button class=\"btn btn-primary\" type=\"button\" data-bs-toggle=\"offcanvas\" data-bs-target=\"#offcanvasMENU\" aria-controls=\"offcanvasExample\" aria-label=\"button\" style=\"white-space: nowrap;\"><br \/>\n\t\t\t\tView More <i class=\"bi bi-arrow-right-circle\"><\/i><br \/>\n\t\t\t<\/button><\/p>\n<p>The following list of speakers are making their first appearance at the SATELLITE show, sharing new ideas, and presenting a range of new perspectives ranging from seasoned veterans to industry newcomers.

On September 30, 1975, HBO and UA-Columbia Cablevision, along with ATC, transmitted the \u201cThrilla in Manila\u201d boxing event \u2014 the third matchup between Mohammed Ali and Joe Fraser, via satellite from the Philippines to cable systems in Vero Beach, Florida and Jackson, Mississippi. It was that night that Koplovitz\u2019s former boss at UA-Columbia, Bob Rosencrans, told her that her dream was about to come true. It was then that they decided to launch a cable television network delivered to systems via satellite. <\/p>\n<p>Koplovitz is a satellite technology and business visionary who was among the first to utilize licensing and advertising as two revenue streams. Most notably, she\u2019s kept a keen eye on the satellite industry, as she wrote her master\u2019s thesis on the impact programming delivered via satellite could have on governments, cultures, and human rights. At SATELLITE 2019, she will be speaking on the event\u2019s Opening General Session, \u201cOur Collective Role in Empowering Women and Cultivating Diversity in Aerospace,\u201d on Wednesday, May 8th at 8:00 a.m. During this panel, Koplovitz will speak about the importance of recognizing talent during crucial business developments, and how the satellite and technology industries should continue to evolve their thinking on corporate culture inclusiveness.<\/p>\n<p><script>var AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a69282985707;googletag.cmd.push(function(){var AIMAP_29b58f13885ebf8ea6b032f958eb0748 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([992, 100], [[970, 90], [970, 250]]).addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_737ce075cc05dd766c8f8ea08f3faa73 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([768, 100], [728, 90]).addSize([320, 100], [320, 50]).build();var AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3 = googletag.sizeMapping().addSize([1200, 100], [970, 250]).addSize([768, 100], [600, 300]).addSize([320, 100], [300, 250]).build();AIAD_fcd45f981d570e35cee941b23edc69c7_6a69282985707 = googletag.defineSlot('\/987\/satellitetoday.com\/via-satellite-digital-issue-ads', [ [600, 300], [300, 250], [970, 250] ], 'div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a6928298570a').defineSizeMapping(AIMAP_21fe3bcfb86a8660aba4e721ee9338f3).setCollapseEmptyDiv(true).addService(googletag.pubads());   });<\/script><script>googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1774631144891- 0-6a6928298570a'); });<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Throughout her youth and career, Koplovitz was captivated by Arthur C. Clarke and his passion for geosynchronous-orbiting satellites when she was a student at the University of Wisconsin in the late 60s. Since 2000, Kay has served as chairman of Springboard Enterprises, where under her leadership, the non-profit venture-catalyst accelerator has been bringing women founders leading transformational businesses to full parity in raising capital.

He currently leads the strategic development of the company\u2019s technology and IT capabilities, as he pushes the technological envelope for the company\u2019s vast, and increasingly autonomous global shipping network. <\/p>\n<p>Egeberg admits that shipping companies like Maersk have, up until this point, been very secretive about their technology innovation strategies. However, as shipping fleets become more autonomous and dependent on compact and agile hardware, and more massive supplies of bandwidth, Maersk now sees the need for greater industry engagement and collaboration. Egeberg comes to SATELLITE 2019 with some exciting new information about the future of autonomy and connectivity in the maritime sphere, and how satellite companies can help the company meet its goals for the next decade. Egeberg will deliver his presentation as SATELLITE 2019\u2019s Monday Luncheon Keynote Speaker, on Monday, May 6th at 12:00 p.m. Grab lunch, take a seat, and enjoy this presentation on the future of maritime connectivity! <\/p>\n<figure class=\"flex flex-col justify-center items-center w-full image-block px-8\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Placeholder alt text\" class=\"w-full object-cover max-w-sm\" src=\"http:\/\/www.satellitetoday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/JkTSxLKCSV0CP9CaqFBE_Shayn_Hawthorne-1.png\"><\/figure>\n<h3>Shayn Hawthorne, Senior Manager and AWS Ground Station Program Lead, Amazon Web Services<\/h3>\n<p>Amazon Web Services (AWS) made a monumental leap last year when the company launched its AWS Ground Station fully managed service.
