New Worlds 2019

New Worlds 2019 will be held November 15–16 in Austin, Texas.
 
This conference is committed to enabling human beings to live and thrive in space, to identifying and developing the technologies and approaches needed to harvest space resources and using those resources to build new industries, companies, and communities that will open the frontier, be it on the Moon, Mars, or the Free Space between worlds.
 
Our Jason Dunn, Gabriel Rothblatt, Rick Tumlinson, and Robert Zubrin will be speaking.

70th International Astronautical Congress

The 70th International Astronautical Congress will be held October 21–25, 2019 in Washington, D.C.
 
Today the broader space community stands at a pivotal juncture in the course of future human space exploration. To succeed we must come together to create a unified vision that can be realized through the effective use of our collective assets and resources. It is in that spirit of collaboration that we would host the global space community in Washington, D.C., to envision what the next “giant leap” will be.
