The New, Global Space Race to Pit Stop in Seattle
SEATTLE (PRWEB) June 21, 2018 -- The upcoming NewSpace Conference will provide an unprecedented opportunity for Seattleites to rub elbows with superstar companies from the new space race, such as Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin and Richard Branson’s Virgin Orbit. Focused on the entrepreneurial growth of the space industry, this conference offers a unique peek inside one of the fast growing, most exciting, and most unique industries of our time. And this is Seattle’s chance to catch a ride!
“Seattle is the right place for NewSpace,” explained Jeff Fiege, chairman of the Space Frontier Foundation, the organization that produces the conference. “The greater Seattle area is home to an advanced workforce, state-of-the-art industrial infrastructure, a long pedigree in aerospace, and a tech-savvy and highly active investment community, all of which provide great opportunity for Seattle to establish itself as the hub of this rapidly growing economy.”
As the space industry continues to transform the Pacific Northwest, offering new jobs, economic growth, and a new source of local pride, Seattleites are encouraged to attend the conference and learn how their local community is benefiting from this new space race. The 2018 NewSpace Conference will be held at the Hyatt Regency Lake Washington at Seattle’s Southport from June 26 - 28.
