We welcomed our two guests, Steve Wolfe and Steven Gonzalez for an in-depth discussion on the upcoming Space Commerce Conference & Exposition which will be in Houston November 17-19, 2015. For more information, visit the conference website at www.spacecomexpo.com. During the first segment, Steve Wolfe described SpaceCom as this is an unusual type of conference or space event. Both Steve and Steven spent the majority of the first segment explaining just how unique and different this event is given it is a business to business out reach effort with five industries including medical, manufacturing, energy, communications, and transportation. The outreach is focused on showing these industries that there are new commercial opportunities coming out of today's space industry, especially through the use of ISS commercial opportunities. Check out the event agenda at www.spacecomexpo.com/Content/At-a-Glance-Agenda/13_78 as this illustrates just how unique this event is. Also on their website, you can find information relating to who should attend this event (www.spacecomexpo.com/Content/Who-Should-Attend/5_36 plus all essential event and hotel registration information. That said, our two guests discussed the event and its three days of programming in detail as each day of the conference offers a different structure and program. Listener questions were focused on the conference agenda and structure, plus there were several questions about space advocates attending the event, networking, the Exposition Hall and how that has been set up to facilitate networking opportunities, and more. In the second segment, I asked about live streaming the conference or segments of it. For this year, the event will not be live streamed but there may be some segments posted on the website at a later date, especially the reports coming out of the second day workshop groups. In addition, we learned that the conference has a focus on STEAM/STEM, a topic we discussed at length during this segment. Later, a listener asked what their outcome expectations were for the event. This provided us with an interesting discussion with outcome and innovation evaluative mechanisms. Listeners asked specific questions about the launch industry, NewSpace entrepreneurial startups, and possible private space stations since the life of the ISS may be limited. Our guests told us the theme for this year's event was "LEO and BELW." Make sure you hear this part of our discussion. Near the end of the segment, Brandy wanted to know about changing commercial and NewSpace industry trends. Both guests offered us closing comments and unique take aways for this event.
