RECORDING AVAILABLE: The Second
“Make Space Boring” Virtual Conference
Access the Recording [Now FREE]
For students, founders, academics and engineers in the space industry
“That led me to the commitment to host the ‘Make Space Boring’ Virtual Conferences.
“They are virtual, hosted on Zoom, featuring speakers who are shaping the future of the space industry. Each will speak for about 20 minutes, with a 10 minute Q&A afterward.
“This is your chance to hear and meet individuals, some with companies and some from academia, who are pursuing powerful transformational abilities in the space field. If you’re a student, hear the words of a Caltech space PhD candidate, who told me: ‘Conferences are often very specific to the research we are doing and tend to be mostly academia oriented. [Yours will] bring in the real life application prospective, and give insights into how the space industry works and how the space sector is shaped. I think this is a very important view to have for “research” people that tend sometimes to forget about the actual implementation and application.’
“If you’re a founder, academic or engineer…I keep hearing one thing over and over, no matter who I’m speaking with: ‘It’s so hard to keep up with all the developments in space.’ This is your chance to get a cool snapshot of the industry highlights. And you’ll be receiving this briefing from true professionals in the field.
“Check out the speaker lineup below…and join us if you’re as excited as I am. See you there!” -Jason

“In a time where companies will be trying to figure out what will come next in the conference and tradeshow space, Cold Star Technologies has stepped right in with their “Make Space Boring” Virtual Conference. Best part is, right out the gate, they seem to have already figured out what will work. I would highly recommend this new virtual conference. The production value was spot on, moderation was excellent, the speakers were diverse and well thought out and there was something for everyone at every interest level. Whether you are just a casual space industry observer or even more specialized, attend, you won’t be disappointed!”
