Your contributions here won’t just influence the debate but the course of humanity.
ASCEND is the world’s first outcomes-focused, transdisciplinary conference designed to accelerate the building of our off-world future. This is an event that is about exploring interesting questions and developing answers as a community.
Building upon AIAA’s core expertise at the forefront of aerospace technology, ASCEND seeks to expand the space ecosystem and connect its stakeholders to learn, network, test, build and problem-solve together.
ASCEND is calling for papers, presentations, and other inputs from a wide range of experts, including scientists, engineers, economists, educators, legal professionals, artists, investors, and entrepreneurs. With your participation, we seek to explore emerging space-related applications and opportunities across all industries, including aerospace, agriculture, construction, entertainment, hospitality, manufacturing, mining, pharmaceuticals, telecommunications, and more.
