Events & Community

Innovation doesn’t happen in isolation — it happens here.

Building an Ecosystem

At AirSpace Integration, we believe innovation doesn’t happen in isolation; it emerges from connection, shared ideas, and active community. Our campus hosts and supports a wide range of events that bring together startups, aviators, aerospace engineers, automation specialists, investors, educators, and regional partners.

Whether you’re launching a new UAS prototype, joining a roundtable on advanced air mobility, or connecting with local founders, you’ll find that our environment is designed for collaboration, learning, and momentum.

Signature Event Partnerships

DART

We work closely with Monterey Bay DART (Drones, Automation & Robotics Technology Initiative) — a regional nonprofit advancing the AAM and UAS sectors through workforce development, industry collaboration, and public engagement.

Events like the DART LIFT Summit and community tech meetups create opportunities to engage with thought leaders, policymakers, and innovators who are shaping California’s next chapter in the aerospace economy.

Local Startup & Tech Meetups

AirSpace Integration regularly collaborates with the Monterey Bay startup ecosystem; connecting aerospace and automation innovators with entrepreneurs, investors, and creative technologists.

These gatherings help bridge the gap between prototype development and market adoption.

Aviation & Maker Community Events

From hands-on drone labs to composite workshops and robotics expos, our test range and hangar spaces transform into dynamic venues for learning, experimentation, and discovery.

We also participate in regional aviation shows and STEM outreach events, fostering a culture of shared knowledge and inspiration.
