Space Beach Law Lab Conference Convenes Space Law Leaders to Discuss Future of Space Law and Policy in Late February

Space Law is on a trajectory to become one of the most compelling areas of the legal profession, sparking heated debate and insightful discussion across the globe. Growing interest in Space Law catalyzed the launch of the Space Beach Law Lab, an unprecedented conference taking place February 27-29, 2024 in Long Beach, California. The historic event will bring together luminaries of the space law world to discuss its exciting past, present and future.

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.

"Space Beach Law Lab was uniquely designed to create a dynamic platform for leading space law practitioners and enthusiasts to listen, learn and discuss a diverse range of legal issues that impact our nation and industry's space exploration activities," remarked Caryn Schenewerk, seasoned space law veteran and founding Steering Committee member of the event. "We are especially proud to hold this conference in Long Beach, a city that has intentionally attracted space companies in recent years. Our advisory board and speakers are committed to delivering stellar space law content from experienced experts."
