Space: The Race to Commercialize the Final Frontier

Mar 11, 2025

2:30pm – 3:30pm CT

As we look to the future, space is increasingly becoming a commercial frontier. With advances in technology, decreasing launch costs, and growing investments from both private companies and government agencies, space is no longer the sole domain of astronauts and national space programs. This panel will explore the emerging commercial opportunities in space, from satellite deployment and space tourism to asteroid mining and lunar bases. Experts from various industries will discuss how private enterprises are shaping the future of space exploration and beyond.
