COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. — Aug. 19, 2025 — Space Foundation, a nonprofit organization founded in 1983 to advance the global space community, will host Faga Forum on Space Intelligence, a classified TS/SCI-level conference for the intelligence community. The event will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 18, 2025, at The Aerospace Corporation in Chantilly, Virginia. The event will also be streamed to the Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) in Colorado Springs, expanding secure access for cleared participants.

This year’s theme, “Dominance in Space, Defense at Home: Space Superiority Through Layered Systems,” will bring together key industry leaders and experts from the intelligence community and defense partners to address the evolving landscape of space-based threats and the strategic initiatives required for effective countermeasures. With threats growing in speed, sophistication and scope, Faga Forum will highlight how layered satellite architectures, advanced defensive technologies, and rapid innovation are transforming operations to deter adversaries, safeguard critical infrastructure, and maintain U.S. dominance in the space domain.

Commenting on the conference, Space Foundation CEO Heather Pringle said, “Now more than ever, we need a trusted platform for senior leaders and commercial innovators to have the right conversations about the dynamic threat environment. Faga Forum addresses that need and more — it enables cross-sector collaboration on the solutions to maintain our nation’s edge.”

Forum participants will also examine new opportunities for commercial partnerships to enhance Title 10 and Title 50 integration, using results from recent U.S. Space Force operational assessments.

U.S. citizenship and a TS/SCI security clearance are required for all attendees. Register for the event at www.spacefoundation.org/faga-forum-on-space-intelligence/.
