About this event

“Hi, I’m Jason Kanigan, the founder of Cold Star Tech…a process engineering and data science company, and producer of over 100 podcast episodes on space engineering, innovation and management. The 1:1 time we get to spend with creative thought leaders in our field should not be a victim of the health crisis currently concerning all of us.

“That led me to the commitment to host the first ever ‘Make Space Boring’ Virtual Conference.

“It will be virtual, hosted on Zoom, featuring speakers who are shaping the future of the space industry. Each will speak for about 20 minutes, with a 10 minute Q&A afterward.

“This is your chance to hear and meet individuals, some with companies and some from academia, who are pursuing powerful transformational abilities in the space field. If you’re a student, hear the words of a Caltech space PhD candidate, who told me: ‘Conferences are often very specific to the research we are doing and tend to be mostly academia oriented. [Yours will] bring in the real life application prospective, and give insights into how the space industry works and how the space sector is shaped. I think this is a very important view to have for “research” people that tend sometimes to forget about the actual implementation and application.’

“If you’re a founder, academic or engineer…I keep hearing one thing over and over, no matter who I’m speaking with: ‘It’s so hard to keep up with all the developments in space.’ This is your chance to get a cool snapshot of the industry highlights. And you’ll be receiving this briefing from true professionals in the field.

“Check out the speaker lineup…and join us if you’re as excited as I am. See you there!” -Jason
