The Exclusive Newspace Gathering Takes Place November 8 and 9, 2024

The National Space Society’s Space Settlement Summit 2024 will be held November 8-9, 2024, at the Center for Space Education at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. This is a unique event, offering intimate access to some of the leading figures in space settlement and development. Participants will join NSS leadership and a dynamic group of leaders from the space industry, government, military, and academia.

This year’s summit focuses on this question: How do we prevent or control cislunar conflict within the rapidly expanding wave of human spaceflight?

The summit will be highly interactive with all participants actively engaged in workshops, discussions, and presentations on policies that will encourage the rapid development of technologies and capabilities required to get thousands of people living and working together, peacefully, in space.
