The Keynotes

During these TEDx-like presentations, leaders of the UK Space industry will inform you about what has been before and inspire you with their vision of what is to come.

The Panels

The Panel discussions are where experts discuss and work through questions live, set by you. This is your opportunity to ask all of the big questions. Prepare to get interactive and introspective!

The Round Tables

The Round Tables are the opportunity for you to make your mark on the industry. They are group discussions facilitated by industry experts, where you will get to bring your voice, ideas and experience to the table to address topics that leading experts in the space industry are currently trying to solve.
