What is Space Symposium?
Space Symposium brings together civil, commercial and national-security space leaders: Space Force and NASA officials, international space agencies, primes and new-space startups. It combines high-level panels with an exhibit hall and many private meetings.
Its location near US Space Command and Space Force bases makes it a key defense-space event.

Why Space Symposium matters for sales teams
Colorado Springs is home to US Space Command and several Space Force units, which gives the symposium a strong defense-space flavour. Government leaders, program offices and primes all attend.
For space and defense vendors, the most valuable contacts are program officials, prime contractor teams and agency leaders. The resort setting makes informal meetings easier, but booking time with senior attendees still requires early outreach.
Who should attend Space Symposium?
Go if your customers are well represented in Space Symposium’s audience and you can plan specific meetings around the programme. The event is strong for relationships and market insight.
Think twice if you need volume. The audience is specialised and spread across many roles, so filter the attendee list carefully before investing in a booth.
Space Symposium ticket prices
| Option | Price / details |
|---|---|
| Also good to know | Fees, tickets and policies on spacesymposium.org; non-member registration historically ~$1,500-2,500 |
| Typical cost | ~$1,500-2,500 (confirm). |
Prices change between editions and by registration date, so treat these as a guide and check spacesymposium.org before you buy.
The Space Symposium app and platform
Yes. The Space Symposium app is available at spacesymposium.org/m.
Event apps are built for attendees, not for sales teams. You can usually browse profiles one by one, but connection requests are capped, many profiles are half empty, and there is rarely an export button. That makes the app useful on site and frustrating for planning.
Is Space Symposium worth it?
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Senior government and defense space leaders | Expensive registration |
| Intimate resort setting | Limited hotel capacity |
| Strong networking | Government procurement cycles |
