Convergence was a Smash!
Thank you to everyone who joined us in-person and virtually for our 2nd Annual COSMIC Convergence! Over 200 COSMIC members converged both online and in Los Angeles to advance domestic ISAM development and adoption last week.
Your presence and contributions were invaluable in making our second annual membership meeting a resounding success. The discussions, activities, and collaborations during the event have and will continue to advance collective understanding and vision for the future of the space economy and ecosystem.
We are inspired by the innovative ideas and enthusiasm shared by all attendees, and we are confident that the connections and knowledge exchanged will continue to propel us towards new horizons in space development and exploration.
We’ll be posting photos, videos, and more shortly, in addition to a recap at our June Community Briefing.
