The event is back in 2025, following the success of the inaugural conference in 2024. The 2025 event will be triple the size, reflecting the demand amongst the ISAM community both in the UK and internationally.
The Conference will bring together international experts, industry leaders, and professionals from both space and non-space sectors to explore the growing opportunities within ISAM.
It will include an expanded exhibition area to showcase innovative technologies, interactive roundtables, enhanced networking opportunities, and opportunities for academic posters.
With a focus on fostering international collaboration and expanding cross-sector partnerships, the event will highlight the UK’s pivotal role in advancing space capabilities and provide a unique opportunity for the ISAM community to connect, share insights, and explore the future.
Dr Paul Bate, CEO of UK Space Agency, said
Our modern society is increasingly reliant on satellite technology, but we know the Earth’s orbits are more crowded than ever before. In-orbit servicing, assembly and manufacturing are high-growth areas which independent research suggests presents an £11 billion market opportunity for the global space sector.
Following a highly successful inaugural event earlier this year, we’re looking forward to the expanded 2025 conference and cementing the UK’s crucial role in progressing these valuable space capabilities. We hope to welcome attendees from across the world, share new ideas and strengthen the collaborations needed to realise the full economic, environmental, and scientific benefits of ISAM.
John Abbott, CEO of the Satellite Applications Catapult, said
We are delighted to announce the return of the ISAM Conference in 2025. The inaugural event exceeded all expectations, and we are excited to build on that success. ISAM offers enormous potential for the future of the space industry, and we aim to make this conference the premier platform for driving these innovations forward.
Partnering again with the UK Space Agency will allow us to facilitate even greater collaboration and knowledge-sharing, further positioning the UK as a leader in this critical area of space.
