"Canada finds itself at a critical point today with our sovereignty at stake. The inaugural Canadian Space Launch Conference (CSLC) marks one of the first times key stakeholders spanning industry, defence, government, academia, and beyond will gather to plan Canada’s future as a launching nation capable of sovereign access to space. Notable speakers include Brig. General Chris Horner (Commander, 3 Canadian Space Division), Brian Gallant (CEO, Space Canada), Alex MacDonald (Chief Economist, NASA), and many more. Capitalizing on this multi-billion dollar opportunity for Canada comes with significant benefits including high skill job creation, national defence and security, environmental sustainability, economic development, and beyond. The inaugural Canadian Space Launch Conference will be an opportunity to help identify and address both barriers and opportunities towards making sovereign launch a reality, and gain updates from key stakeholders about progress on all things technology, policy, regulations, infrastructure, and more."
