The International Space Development Conference (ISDC) is the annual conference of the National Space Society bringing together NSS leaders and members with leading managers, engineers, scientists, educators, and businessmen from civilian, military, commercial, entrepreneurial, and grassroots advocacy space sectors.
Information about sponsorships, exhibiting, and volunteering is available at each year’s ISDC website.
ISDC 2021 will not be an in-person event. Instead, the ISDC Production Team is creating an event to live stream June 24-27, 2021. Click here for more information about the virtual space conference.Location of future ISDCs
