2019 Roundtable on Value and Benefit Creation in Commercial Space

                

In October 2016 SWF and the Heinlein Prize Trust (HPT) organized the Roundtable on Value Creation in Commercial Space at the Explorers’ Club in New York City. In 2017, working in partnership with the space law practice group at Reed Smith LLP, SWF and HPT organized the second in the annual Roundtable series in Washington, DC. The third in the Roundtable Series was convened in New York City on September 5th, 2018 with support from the New York Space Alliance (NYSA).

The 2019 edition of the Roundtable convened in London on November 5th, in partnership with the International Institute of Space Commerce and the Heinlein Prize Trust. The one-day invite-only Roundtable convened representatives from the commercial space community and the institutional and investment banking community for a discussion of creating, measuring, and sustaining long-term value and benefit from commercial space development. 

The event took a Roundtable approach with moderated discussions between a small group (apx. 50) of invited participants. A series of three “Discussions” were held. Each Discussion began with short presentations from invited speakers followed by a moderated dialogue between all attendees and participants.
