Trump 2.0 – How Will the Space Sector Change?

Join us on Jan. 15 as we discuss the Trump Administration and the space sector. The inauguration of President Trump’s second administration is poised to kick off changes to the U.S. space sector, building upon initiatives from his first term and introducing new directives.

We’ve assembled a panel of experts to discuss policy, commercialization, competitiveness and ask the tough questions, such how does Elon Musk (SpaceX) fit in as both a government customer, and a close adviser to Trump? How will conflict of interest be dealt with? What will China do?

Discussion Topics:

• Continuation and expansion of space initiatives including the Artemis program, and United States Space Force.
• Is a Space National Guard necessary?
• Commercial space collaboration: Will the administration to strengthen partnerships with private space companies?
• Where will deregulation efforts surface?
• What are the challenges and opportunities?
