Lunch and Learn at NewSpace 2013

June 27, 2013

Explore the Future of Commercial Space with our Featured Luncheon Speakers

Join us for a special opportunity to hear from top commercial space leaders and advocates at the lunch speaker events taking place at the commercial space industry’s premier conference, NewSpace 2013. These lunchtime events offer unparallelled glimpses into the most exciting advances in NewSpace as well as more intimate opportunities for networking with other space professionals.

The commercial space industry is building a new market with efficient business processes, a wide spectrum of technology, and almost prescient investors. It’s been said that the first trillionaires will be made through space industrialization and we’re going to show how space pioneers are creating new products and profits. NewSpace is undergoing rapid expansion, similar to the Internet explosion of the 1990’s, and needs to be filled with revolutionary businesses like yours.

The Space Frontier Foundation’s annual conference is one of the most important commercial space conferences in the nation, and will be in July in Silicon Valley. NewSpace 2013 is where networking with leaders, supporters, investors and activists evolves into enterprises that propel the industry upward. It will host a wide-range of thought-provoking panels and visionary keynote speakers that will surpass NewSpace 2012’s already highly-praised programming.

This is the fifth year that the conference has been in Silicon Valley and we are pleased to continue holding the most stimulating conference on the world of commercial space in the home of cutting edge technology. We personally welcome the experienced Silicon Valley technologists and entrepreneurs to come and get on board with NewSpace.

The three day event will focus on the current, near term, and future potential and challenges of the emerging commercial space industry. People from throughout the space, advocacy and technology industries to those in startups, government and media bring their ideas for opening the high frontier making this conference a hotbed of innovation and partnership. We look forward to having you join us.
