BJC in Conversation: Watch this Space - Bristol's role in the UK space ecosystem & what it means for you

From the satellites orbiting the Earth to keep us connected with our friends and families, to using Earth observation data to monitor the impact of climate change, space plays a critical role in our daily lives. Worth over £17.5 billion in income, the space sector is also a vital part of the UK’s economy. 

But did you know that our very own Bristol and the wider South West is rapidly developing into an internationally recognised space region? What does this mean for you and what opportunities does the space economy present for you in your working life?

Join us for an evening of discussion and networking over drinks and nibbles with the leaders of some of the most important space-related organisations in our region. You'll have the opportunity to hear from and ask questions of our panel of speakers, which features: 

• Rebecca Huffee - Space West regional Space cluster manager

• Simon Reid - Managing Director, D-Orbit UK

• Dr Mark Woods - Chief Strategy Officer, Centre for Modelling and Simulation (CFMS)

• John Catchpole - Partner and leader of Foot Anstey’s Space and Satellite team

We look forward to seeing you there.
