The 3rd Global SatShow is calling on the satellite industry to make nominations for this year's Satellite Industry Leader Awards. Taking place on 8-9 November in Istanbul, Turkey, the 3rd Global SatShow is an annual conference, awards and exhibition. Dedicated to the satellite industry, the tradeshow also encompasses space technologies, broadcast, telecommunications and IT/ITC. The multi-sector show will be awarding companies and individuals for their outstanding achievements made in the industry they serve.

The five award categories include Satellite Operator of the Year; Disruptive Innovator; Industry Influencer of the Year; Satellite Business of the Year; and Satellite Humanitarian of the Year. The winners of this year will receive the awards during a prestigious ceremony on the final day of the show.
