Taking place aboard the historic Queen Mary Golden Age ocean liner, the Space Beach Law Lab convenes an influential community of lawyers, legal leaders and regulators aiming to accelerate progress, align strategies, and shape the future of the burgeoning space industry.

Attendees will gather on February 27 for an opening night reception aboard the Queen Mary. Then, on February 28, Long Beach mayor Rex Richardson will kick off the day with opening remarks. Space pioneer and NASA astronaut Col. Eileen Collins, the first female commander of a space shuttle mission, will deliver the keynote address entitled “Breaking the Glass Ceiling to Space” in a fireside chat with Jenn McCarron, Legal Operations and Technology pioneer and host of the CLOC Talk podcast.

In addition, over a dozen power-packed panel discussions are scheduled for February 28-29, featuring experts and thought leaders drawn from far and wide to share their insights. These will cover topics ranging from navigating the rapidly evolving space frontier to legislative and policy updates, as well as governance and commercialization of space exploration.

Our advisory board and speakers are committed to delivering stellar space law content from experienced experts.”
