Highlights From Our Season

Our spring event season has wrapped — here's a look back before we announce what's next this August.

This year's luncheon featured a keynote conversation with Rajeev Badyal and Chris Weber of Amazon Leo, offering a rare look inside one of the largest infrastructure investments in Washington state's history, alongside a Space Startup Showcase curated by Space Northwest.

Hundreds of leaders from business, research, education, and government turned out to make the case that Washington is emerging as a center of the space economy.
