Space Law and Policy Conference 2024

This event is proudly brought to you by the Sydney Law School and the Space Law Council of Australia and New Zealand.

The diversity of space actors and advances in space technology have brought with it new opportunities and challenges.

We are witnessing lunar landings, planned human missions to the moon, mega satellite constellations in low earth orbit and rising tensions relating to space weapons. Space technology is now intertwined with our critical terrestrial infrastructure.

Outer space has emerged as a key strategic domain, so it is vital for states to ensure that space infrastructure and operations are safe, secure and sustainable.

In this new era of innovation and exploration, space law and policy is critically important - both at the national and international level.

This conference will bring together space experts from industry, government and academia to share knowledge and debate space governance issues.

The conference will be forward-focused, with discussions on the challenges and outlooks in space law and policy for Australia and New Zealand in 2024 and beyond. It will also include featured addresses from the Australian Space Agency and the New Zealand Space Agency.

There will also be panels of notable speakers addressing a variety of law and policy topics relating to commercial space, space sustainability, space security, space geopolitics and alliances, cislunar and lunar space missions.

This event is also a networking opportunity for professionals, academics and enthusiasts working across all space-related fields.
