This year's conference programme runs across three consecutive days, Monday 27 October – Wednesday 29 October, with the option to attend any or all days.
Each day will consist of a combination of talks from selected presenters, as well as dedicated panel sessions and invited Keynote talks aligned with each day's theme.

The conference will host a Gala Dinner on the evening of the second day, Tuesday 28 October, which will include the Sir Arthur Clarke Awards – this event is not to be missed!

The theme of this year's conference is ‘The Rapidly Changing Context of Global Space’ and will focus on the challenges and emerging issues presented by the increase in commercially funded activities, advances in technology, and the recent rapid changes in international relationships:

“We are facing a number of significant and rapidly accelerating changes that point towards an unprecedented shift in how we operate and collaborate in the international space arena. In particular, the compounding of three influential factors will change the operating context for all of us; The near-exponential drop in the cost of access to space; the integration of AI and automation into our upstream and downstream activities; and the effect of the changing geopolitics of space”

Technological, geopolitical and economic forces are all in play and this is a chance to talk about them collectively; what capabilities we should be investing in and how to reframe our priorities to remain relevant in this new era. The conference will encourage critical discussion and the assessment of the key assumptions and bold new ideas as we review our current activities and ask the question …have we got it right?
