The Space Foundation, along with key board members in the financial industry, has created a compelling event focused exclusively on the needs of the New York investment, finance, and analyst communities. The inaugural Space Business Forum: New York is a forum for Wall Street analysts, investment bankers, institutional advisors, and high-risk insurers to engage in a meaningful dialogue with industry leaders about aerospace and defense financing and investment opportunities emerging from new commercial space ventures and established space-related businesses.

Space Business Forum: New York is a one-day, exclusive event scheduled on Wednesday, June 18, 2008, at the Hilton New York Hotel in New York City. Distinguished panelists and featured speakers include leaders from the global aerospace industry, the international finance and investment communities, media, government, and other sectors that play a significant role in the $251 billion space economy.
