"I was a civil litigator for nearly 10 years and came to the ACSP Bootcamp with a strong interest in commercial space law, but no background or experience. It is no exaggeration to say that those four days helped change the course of my entire career. I was able to learn from and make meaningful inroads with leading experts in this industry. In fact, one of the people I connected with was the Chief Legal Officer for True Anomaly, who ended up hiring me a few months after the Bootcamp as in-house counsel. This conference gave me the educational foundation and support to obtain a job I am passionate about, for which I am extremely grateful."
