The National Space Society’s International Space Development Conference is where astronauts, scientists, entrepreneurs, officials, activists and other citizens who look forward to the “final frontier” gather each year. Regular features include talks by government and industry leaders, panels on the latest developments in space technology and related fields, exhibits from NASA and private space companies, and an unparalleled opportunity to meet and interact with the people who make the future happen.
This conference is for all people, not just rocket scientists. Meet the space interested and enthusiastic public. Find out why we want to “go” and why we feel it’s important for the next step in continuing humanity’s place in the universe.
