We are excited to share that the Inaugural Space Economy Conference is being developed as a publication-oriented developmental event focused on advancing management research on the Space Economy.
The conference is planned for Spring 2027 in the UK and is being designed as a pathway toward three special issue proposals in leading management journals.
The conference will include:
🎓 Academic Track
Selected paper and poster sessions, senior faculty discussants, and structured opportunities to strengthen research for publication.
🚀 Professional and Practitioner Track
Engagement with space entrepreneurs, investors, industry professionals, policymakers, and other leaders working on the practical challenges of the Space Economy.
The conference will be capped at 20 paper presentations and 12 poster presentations, with themes including strategy, innovation, and entrepreneurship.
