Held every two years, the UK Space Conference brings together the space community to focus on positioning the UK as a leading economy in this fast developing sector. As the UK space sector s unrivalled networking event, this is an opportunity to exchange information and improve understanding between government, industry, academia, end users and the financial community. This event will build on the success of the 2015 conference, which attracted over 1,000 representatives and more than 100 exhibitors. Now held over two and a half days in response to feedback from delegates, The UK Space Conference 2017 will be even bigger and better. This event presents a compelling forum to discuss the changing political, economic and technological landscape impacting the UK space industry. It will review the UK s strategy to capture a 10 per cent share of the global space market, which is forecast to be worth at least 400bn by 2030. The UK Space Conference 2017 is an exceptional opportunity to increase awareness of your organisation s brand across the UK space sector; and to demonstrate thought leadership in the strategic issues affecting the space community. We have worked hard to develop a full range of sponsorship packages for the UK Space Conference 2017 outlined in this brochure. All are designed to allow you to achieve your networking goals over the three-days. This year s programme is being developed to maximise interaction between delegates and sponsors, with a view to increasing the opportunities available to you as a sponsor or an exhibitor.
