About Aerospace Summer Games (ASG)

Aerospace Summer Games is an annual multi-organization athletic and team-based event dedicated to promoting education, physical wellness, teamwork, and community engagement across the aerospace and defense industry in Southern California. By bringing together employees, families, and volunteers, we create a vibrant platform for collaboration and connection that strengthens our industry community.

Our mission extends beyond athletic competition to foster leadership development, inclusion, and public interest engagement. We are committed to encouraging awareness of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) career pathways and workforce development, inspiring the next generation of aerospace professionals while celebrating the achievements and camaraderie of our current industry leaders.

A Decade of ASG

The ever-growing coalition of Southern California aerospace companies celebrates a decade of hosting the Aerospace Summer Games!

Bigger & Better

A pre-ASG bonfire on the beach was also hosted the night before the Games as a homage to the history of ASG on the sand.

2026

A New Era

ASG was officially established as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization! It has also moved towards a community/collaboratively run event, as opposed to being solely led by the previous year’s winner.

This year, we are set to welcome over 70 companies with 10,000+ attendees… it’s going to be the best Games yet!
