OVERVIEW

Space exploration – as well as its supporting industries – have historically been confined to state-funded endeavors. We have entered an era where doors are quickly opening for new players to engage in the Business of Space. At the same time, meetings and conferences dedicated to this rapidly evolving landscape remain stale echo-chambers, repackaging dogmatic principles and approaches. 

 

To date, our collective approach to the Spacescape has been limited by the traditional thinking of the established narrative, hindering progress and innovation. Inter Astra is focused on shifting this narrative by leveraging recent scientific and technological developments and championing the creativity of nontraditional, often marginalized players in the Spacescape.

 

We are at the juncture of a game-changing opportunity: to bring independent, future-oriented parties together as new participants and leaders shaping the Business of Space at the second annual Inter Astra Retreat (IAR).

THE RETREAT

Retreat-IA-B.jpg

IAR is an exclusive three-day leadership symposium for the Business of Space, convening the next generation of scientists, entrepreneurs, and creatives alongside leading space experts to open a new chapter for discovery, partnership and collaboration. The retreat explores nontraditional verticals and accelerates exploratory dialogue, generating forward-thinking solutions and introducing unique partnerships and new alliances.

 

Set in the intimate venue of the Salamander Resort & Spa in Middleburg Virginia, IAR participants interact in small 12-15 person groups and engage in candid, at times provocative dialogue related to the Business of Space. Curated sessions, experiential activities, and interactive events foster lively dialogue and engagement, ultimately resulting in the clear articulation of friction areas to overcome as well as actionable takeaways in the evolving Spacescape.

 

Inter Astra is positioned to become the premier leadership ecosystem for the space economy. Through interdisciplinary collaboration and the collision of ideas from disparate competencies, Inter Astra offers exponential growth prospects for participants and partners.

ETHOS  The goal of Inter Astra Retreat is to host conversations that matter. 

The motivating force behind IAR is the belief that authentic conversations create impact. Topics and discussion groups are carefully crafted based on the interests and expertise of participants.
