NASA ANNOUNCES FIRST NATIONAL TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER


CONFERENCE

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration will


sponsor a 2-day conference in November 1990, to promote within
industry a greater awareness of the agency's emerging
technologies through its Technology Utilization Program.
Planned as an annual event, TECHNOLOGY 2000 will be the first
industrial exposition and conference to showcase the transfer of
the agency's technology to American business.

Scheduled Nov. 27-28, 1990, at the Washington Hilton Hotel,


Washington, D.C., TECHNOLOGY 2000 will feature speakers and
exhibitors from NASA and its contractors, addressing both prior
and potential spinoffs of the agency's research. Speakers will
spotlight both current and planned research and development
efforts, including innovations now coming on line from the
Mission to Planet Earth Program, the National Aero-Space Plane,
and Mars mission and lunar base research.

Preliminary plans for the technical symposia include such


topics as software engineering, materials sciences, sensor
technology, computational fluid dynamics, communications,
robotics and artificial intelligence, and biomedicine.

The goal of TECHNOLOGY 2000 is to support the national


technology transfer program by increasing awareness of existing
NASA-developed technologies available for immediate use and by
laying the groundwork for the effective use of emerging
technologies being planned and developed for future missions.
The target audience is the non-aerospace segment of industry that
traditionally has had minimal participation in NASA's research
and development programs.

Co-sponsors of the conference and exhibition are Technology


Utilization Foundation, a non-profit organization which will
manage the show, and NASA Tech Briefs, a monthly magazine devoted
to the transfer of the agency's technical innovations to American
industry.
