Call for Presenters- TRATECH Tripoli Technical Conference & Summit 2022
TRATECH 2021 in Wendover, Utah was such a great success, the Tripoli Board has decided to do it again for 2022!
TRA’s second annual technical conference will be held on Thursday 6/9 and Friday 6/10 during LDRS-40 at the host hotel in Victorville, CA. The Tripoli Board believes that the entire membership greatly benefits from an intensive educational and information sharing opportunity such as the TRATECH technical conference.
The TRA TRATECH Committee is now soliciting presenters to speak at the conference in sessions on various rocketry-related topics, including but not necessarily limited to:
• Airframe design and construction
• Electronics
• Simulations
• Motor design
• Propellant formulations & processing
• Static testing
• Advanced manufacturing techniques
• Advanced materials
• Recovery
• Running a club
• Websites
• Looking for launch sites
• Working with the FAA
• Tripoli & high-power history
• ...any other topics that are interesting and relevant!
TRA will be video recording the presentations for access by members who are not able to attend the live conference, and for future viewing.
The sessions will run from 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM each day and there will be 2 tracks of 3 sessions operating simultaneously, for up to 12 sessions. Each session will run for 55 minutes, with a 5 minute break between sessions. Past experience has shown that a 45 minute presentation followed by 10 minutes of questions and answers works well.
A computer, projector and screen will be available if you plan to use PowerPoint or other software in your presentation.
The TRA TRATECH committee is asking that interested presenters submit the following information:
• Name and contact info of presenter (phone number and email address)
• Title and a one or two-paragraph summary of the presentation
• Short bio of the presenter
• Photograph of the presenter
If you are interested, please submit the above information via email to
Gary Rosenfield no later than February 28, 2022. The TRATECH committee will make a decision by late March on the presenters and schedule, and will communicate with the chosen presenters and the membership at that time. This will give participants at least 2 months to work on their presentations before the conference.
Thanks in advance for helping to make TRATECH 2022 and LDRS-40 a successful event!
