Since its beginning in 1984, the National Space Symposium has brought together space leaders from around the world to discuss, address, and dream about the future of space. The inaugural event took place at The Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs, Colo., which continues to house the event to this day. In the 25 ensuing years, attendance has grown from barely 250 space enthusiasts to the more than 7,500. The Symposium has become widely known as the premier U.S. space policy and program forum. It is a “must attend” opportunity for information and interaction on all sectors of space – civil, commercial, national security, new space entrepreneurship, finance, education, and workforce issues.
