exclusive invitation
THURSDAY 2 OCTOBER | NATIONAL SPACE CENTRE
Innovation Summit
Back for its second year, the Innovation Summit is an exclusive gathering of professionals, thought leaders, and safety innovators. Set in the iconic surroundings of the National Space Centre, this year’s conference explores the theme of scalability and transforming innovation from pilot projects to wide-reaching, impactful change.
The 2024 summit was about initiating change, this year is about accelerating it. We’ll go beyond the 'what' and 'why' of innovation to tackle the critical issue of how to scale successfully, and how to ensure long-term impact.
11:00am - 4:00pm
Sir Patrick Moore Planetarium
This year’s conference will unfold inside the Sir Patrick Moore Planetarium, a truly unique and immersive venue at the heart of the National Space Centre. With its dome-shaped theatre and state-of-the-art projection technology, the planetarium offers a powerful setting to explore big ideas. Expect a conference experience like no other, offering thought-provoking talks delivered in a space designed to spark imagination.
6:00pm - 11:00pm
6PM - 11PM
Evening fundraiser
In association with Railway Children
Later on, you’re invited to join us back at the museum where we’re hosting an exclusive party and fundraiser in the main exhibition space. No more presentations or business talk; just a chance to relax, have fun and raise a bit of cash for our charity partner, Railway Children! Drinks, canapés and food will provided throughout the evening.
All proceeds from the evening will support this incredible organisation, and your contributions will make a significant impact on their mission.
