The 2006 Space Venturing Forum

Come join the Caltech/MIT Enterprise Forum, Pasadena Entretec and the National Space Society on May 4, 2006 in Los Angeles at a gathering of great minds, to discuss and learn about the rapidly expanding opportunities in the space business: the 2006 Space Venturing Forum is open to entrepreneurs, venture capitalists, investment bankers, aerospace prime and sub-contractors, space industry suppliers, consultants and members of the press. Originally hosted several years ago on the campus of Caltech by the Enterprise Forum with entrepreneur Dennis Tito (the world s first Space Tourist), the Space Venturing Forum moves into a new position this year as the opening day of the International Space Development Conference (ISDC), held annually by the National Space Society with The Planetary Society. Special Guest Speakers include Elon Musk, Chairman of Space Exploration Technologies (SpaceX), and Burt Rutan, creator of the Ansari X PRIZE-winning SpaceShip One. A range of highly regarded executives from the ranks of both large aerospace corporations as well as startups leading the emerging era of space entrepreneurial ventures, along with the leaders of industry groups bringing these together, are scheduled to participate in the various panel discussions.
