Session 1 of 2

What should the NSS Young Professionals community look like in 2027? We want your ideas!

Join us for an interactive strategic planning session where you’ll help shape the next chapter of NSS Young Professionals.

Together, we’ll reflect on what we’ve accomplished, explore what young professionals need most from NSS, and identify priorities for the coming year.

Through facilitated discussions and small-group activities, participants will help generate ideas for professional development, networking, mentorship, leadership opportunities, and ways to make a meaningful impact in the space community.

This isn’t a presentation about plans already made. It’s an opportunity to help create them.

Your ideas will help inform the 2027 Young Professionals program calendar, activities, and community priorities.

30 People. 30 Stories. A Growing Community.

Join us for a virtual celebration of the inaugural NSS 30 Under 30 Class of 2026!

This informal gathering brings together our honorees and the NSS Young Professionals community to celebrate achievements, make new connections, and get to know the people behind the recognition. We’ll hear brief introductions from our honorees who can attend, explore the diverse paths that brought them into the space community, and create opportunities for conversation and networking.

Whether you’re one of our 30 Under 30 honorees or a fellow young professional passionate about the future of space, come raise a glass, meet some inspiring people, and help us kick off a year of connection and collaboration!
