  Reach Anyone, Do Anything: The Mindset and Mechanics of Cold Outreach

  Anahita Dalmia, CEO, Alterea Inc.

  TOPIC CATEGORY: Business

  Anything you want to achieve, any door you want to open—someone out there already holds the key. The real challenge is finding them, reaching them, and persuading them to unlock it. In today’s digital world, even the busiest leaders and gatekeepers still check their inboxes. With persistence, clarity, and the right technique, cold outreach can turn what feels impossible into a tangible opportunity. MORE >

  I’ve seen this play out firsthand. What is typically a three-month government approval process on SAM.gov, I cut down to just four days by directly emailing every official in the agency until the right person responded. When we needed educators to pilot our program, 500 teachers signed up in a single day—not because of ad spend, but because of carefully crafted outreach that landed in the right inboxes.

  This session will blend mindset with mechanics. We’ll explore why believing that “anyone can be reached” transforms how leaders pursue opportunities, and we’ll get practical: which tools can surface the right contacts, how to design messages that cut through noise, and how to approach outreach as both an art and a science.

  Attendees will leave with more than inspiration. They will gain a concrete playbook for identifying the people who hold the keys to their goals, crafting the messages that earn a response, and building the persistence to keep knocking until the door opens.

  Have you ever wondered what it takes to become a rocket scientist? In this talk, students will discover the amazing science and teamwork behind building rockets.

  From Concept to Cosmos: A Journey through Project Management Principles and NASA’s Best Practices

  David Lehman, Project Manager, Retired from NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory

  TOPIC CATEGORY: Educational

  In this presentation Mr. Lehman will summarize the basic principles of project management. This will be followed by a summary of NASA’s process for managing space projects throughout the life cycle, including formulation which consists of Phase A (concept & technology development) and Phase B (preliminary design and technology completion phase), approval for implementation, and implementation which includes Phase C (final design & fabrication), Phase D (system assembly, integration & test, launch & checkout), and Phase E (operations and sustainment).

Finally, Mr. Lehman will present three case studies in project management: the Deep Space 1 mission, the Mars Climate Orbiter failure lessons learned, and the last mission of the Space Shuttle Challenger.
