Epic Space Cowboy Ball
INTRODUCTION
“It’s the SXSW of Space”
“It’s the SXSW of Space”
Most space conferences leave you overwhelmed, overloaded, and overlooked.
At other space events, they talk “at” you – at New Worlds, we speak “with” you. We fold you into the conversation and experience. New Worlds was designed not as a conference, rather a slightly counter-culture alternative gathering of the space tribes where Space Entrepreneurs, Frontier Pioneers, Industry Celebrities, and the Space Curious converge for 2 Full Days of Deep Conversations, Intimate Networking, and Epic Experiences.
What you’ll hear in this IMAX theatre will be like experiencing 5 millions lbs. of thrust from a Falcon Heavy
The transformational experiences we have planned for you will make you think and feel like you’ve actually left this planet.
“We go way back” will be something you find yourself saying soon enough about the lifelong connections you’ll build here.
SPACERS, UNITE
Attend this alternative space event
And Join The Conversation!
Join The Conversation, With A Side Of Revolution!
New Worlds is uniting hundreds of spacers, visionary entrepreneurs, influential billionaires, pioneering tech developers, forward-thinking policymakers, agencies, private sector organizations, domain thought leaders, and top-tiered media and inviting them to go to the edge–and beyond. Together, we aim to share and showcase the latest in space, science, technology, and the arts–all under one roof. This is an event where you can let your hair down, relax, and get inspired by new ideas, insights, and ideologies you won’t experience anywhere else.
Star-Power Draw: Previous years have been attended by many celebrities, venture capitalist firms, and pioneering brands.
Engaging Programming: Powerful conversations, first-of-its-kind keynotes and thrilling entertainment. It's visionary thinking meets ground-based action.
Astronaut Interactions: Hear about their experiences in space. Last year there were 4 astronauts in attendance. See how many will attend this year!
Elite Networking: Rub elbows with the space field’s biggest luminaries, industry journalists, and investors looking for their next venture, all in an intimate setting.
Space Cowboy Ball: This intergalactic masquerade is a one-of-a-kind blend of awards, live music, entertainment, and a costume dance party–truly a night where imagination knows no bounds.
“Reality is becoming closer than what science fiction predicted; we imagined what a future of space would look like, and now it’s time for you to … MAKE IT SO.”
