15th Australian Space Forum

Tuesday 9th May 2023

The Andy Thomas Space Foundation welcomed a global audience to the 15th edition of the Australian Space Forum, which was held on Tuesday, 9 May 2023 at the Adelaide Convention Centre in South Australia.

Supported by the Australian Space Agency, the South Australian Space Industry Centre and SmartSat CRC, the Forum provides the perfect opportunity to stimulate ideas, share information about emerging technologies and network with influential space sector leaders and the broader community.

Participants attended in-person, or virtually through the event’s global interactive platform.

The space sector in Australia is experiencing unprecedented growth as industry, academia, and government work together to expand their activities and develop international relationships for ongoing opportunity and success within the space economy. Forum sessions included international panels covering highly pertinent topics that shape our industry. 

This iconic event was not to be missed and represented one of the foremost events on the national space industry calendar.
