Each year, the Space Generation Advisory Council (SGAC) holds its international Space Generation Fusion Forum in conjunction with the Space Symposium. Fusion Forum takes place May 18 and 19 this year at The Broadmoor Hotel in Colorado Springs, Colo., USA.

Fusion Forum participation is limited to a group of up to 50 top young adults chosen from international applicants representing government, industry and academia.

Fusion Forum’s interactive panel discussions, moderated by international space sector leaders, cover the perspectives of tomorrow’s space leaders on today’s global space topics. Attendees will also have the opportunity to participate in Space Symposium activities on May 19, including the New Generation reception, the Space Symposium’s opening ceremony and the Boeing Exhibit Center opening.
