It’s been a long time coming but in-person events finally seem to be making a comeback. ROOM is delighted to have participated as a media partner in the 2021 Space-Comm Expo — a two-day exhibition focussed on the commercial future of the space-sector — earlier this month.
Held in Farnborough, UK, on 7–8 July, Space-Comm Expo showcased a wide range of space-sector businesses. The event welcomed over 80 exhibitors, as well as a lineup of inspiring keynote speakers including representatives from the UK, European and Canadian space agencies.
“Networking during the pandemic has certainly been unusual, but businesses have managed to find unique ways to stay in touch,” said Clive Simpson, Editor-in-Chief of ROOM. “Even so, it is certainly exciting to see the return of in-person events like Space-Comm Expo, where the industry can reconnect in person and participate in conference sessions, speed networking and roundtable opportunities”.
Space-Comm Expo presented a brilliant opportunity for businesses and enthusiasts across the UK space sector to engage with a whole host of partners from across the thriving industry. As an official media partner, ROOM was thrilled to take part in the exhibition alongside businesses from all across the sector, from high performance electronics manufacturers, to space law specialists, to rocket engineers and Earth observation experts.
