Our workshop is part of SGAC’s annual events that aims to bring together regional space leaders to discuss topics of relevance to the respective region, in this case North, Central America and the Caribbean (NCAC).

Since the first regional event, or Space Generation Workshop in 2014, SGAC has been able to attract a larger member audience excited to bring an ‘international’ gathering to their region with participants that are interested in discussing local space activities and may not be able to attend SGAC events in other parts of the globe. This movement allows the participants to meet similar minded space enthusiasts from their region, and spin a cultural flavor. 

Even though our event is focused on the NCAC region, everyone from around the globe is invited to join our working groups and add their ideas to our discussions.

As a delegate, you will have the amazing opportunity to develop leadership skills in a growing industry by directly networking with the main actors, decision makers, market developers and young space leaders. You will join the most important youth space community where YOU HAVE THE POWER to actively participate in decision making and influence the direction of policies and space initiatives. You can positively impact the way things work in the present. This role enables you to represent the causes and issues that hold personal significance and pave the way for mindfull transformations.
