Morning Conversations: Meridian Space Diplomacy Forum

Solutions to many of the most complex challenges of our day lie beyond Earth's atmosphere, which now appears closer than ever. Human ingenuity and technological innovation have democratized space resulting in the meteoric rise in national government programs and new commercial enterprises. Space exploration and scientific breakthroughs are rocketing, while a burgeoning space industry offers astronomical economic growth and workforce development opportunities globally. However, increased competition and congestion also raises the risk of conflict in space.

Diplomacy is paramount to accelerate international cooperation among these stakeholders and modernize international regulations and norms of responsible behavior to maintain peace and enable us to reach our collective potential in space.

Held in-person on Meridian’s historic Washington, DC campus, the program will feature remarks from key decisionmakers, in-depth panel discussions, workshops, and networking.
