About this Event:
From multimillion-dollar deals to international partnerships, Knight Aerospace CEO Bianca Rhodes (San Antonio Business Journal 2025 South Texas Power Player and 2021 Woman of the Year) will share how her business markets highly specialized products – like Aeromedical Bio-Containment Modules – to some of the most demanding clients in the world. Attendees will gain firsthand knowledge of navigating B2G (business-to-government) markets, crafting messaging for federal agencies, and positioning products for global impact.
As Military City USA, San Antonio is home to one of the largest concentrations of military bases in the country – making it a strategic hub for defense innovation and government contracting. Bianca’s presentation will spotlight how local companies can leverage this unique ecosystem to grow their business, tap into federal opportunities, and compete on a global stage. With case studies from Knight’s work in over 25 countries, this session is a must-attend for marketers, entrepreneurs, and business leaders looking to break into – or scale within – the government and military sectors.
