The event will take place Aug. 23-26 in person at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs and virtually through Symposium 365 digital platform.

    “The past year has challenged us all, but the space community has demonstrated its perseverance and inspiration in countless ways,” said Space Foundation CEO Tom Zelibor. “The capabilities are now in hand for us to safely gather again in person, while expanding our reach to host attendees from around the world virtually and make them part of the Space Symposium experience.”

    Working with its multiple partners, corporate members, and stakeholders, Space Foundation has created a hybrid program for the first time in nearly four decades of Space Symposium operations that will allow for in-person and virtual attendance. The in-person assembly of global space leaders and innovators will be limited in its physical size to comply with public health ordinances, but the virtual assembly will allow unlimited, real-time and on-demand access to the event.

    “As the preeminent advocate and gateway for lifelong education, trusted information, and seamless collaboration, Space Foundation is doing everything we can to bring together this community of people and organizations engaged in space exploration and space-inspired industries that define the global space ecosystem,” Zelibor added.

    Registration and details are on the event website.

    The Space Foundation has decided to reschedule the 36th Space Symposium for Oct. 31 to Nov. 2. It will still take place at The Broadmoor in Colorado Springs.

    According to the Space Foundation, the 36th Space Symposium will gather leaders, innovators and entrepreneurs from the civil, commercial, military, research and international sectors to share, explore and partner on efforts that will impact our lives beyond Earth and upon it.

    “Working with our partners, The Broadmoor, the City of Colorado Springs, our corporate members and other key stakeholders, we look forward to welcoming everyone back to Colorado Springs to celebrate one of the world’s most inventive and impactful communities,” said Rear Admiral Tom Zelibor, CEO of the Space Foundation. “We will continue to monitor all of the public health reports and adhere to all of the federal, state and local orders regarding public assemblies but we have confidence in planning ahead for a future that brings our community safely back together in Colorado Springs.”

    As a result of the date and timing changes for this year’s symposium, attendees will find a revamped agenda from what was originally scheduled for this spring, the Space Foundation said. Scheduled changes can be found here.

    In addition, registration fees paid to attend the 36th Space Symposium will be automatically transferred to the rescheduled program. Those choosing to not attend the rescheduled Symposium are requested to notify [email protected] to receive a full refund of registration fees paid.
