Space Generation Fusion Forum 2023

Held annually in scenic Colorado Springs in conjunction with the Space Symposium, the Space Generation Fusion Forum is a three-day, high-intensity, fast-paced professional development and networking event focused on the international and US space industry.

By hosting international, regional, local and thematic events, as well as attending various events globally, SGAC provides its members with opportunities to expand their knowledge of international space policy issues as well as space topics of a scientific or technical nature, think creatively about the future direction of humanity’s use of space, and engage with current leaders from space agencies, industry, and academia.

In 2023 the Space Generation Fusion Forum runs from April 14-17 in Colorado Springs, Colorado, with a virtual pre-event in late March. The deadline for applications was January 15th. Further information can be found on the website: https://spacegeneration.org/sgff-2023.
