You, too can be heard at the 2010 ISDC:
"MANY ROADS TO SPACE" Mini-presentations
ISDC registrants come together to exchange views, to seek new ideas and new directions to follow in pushing for accelerated space development, and to pass on their own ideas and experiences. Many attendees have unique perspectives, experiences and ideas on various matters relating to space science, technology, development, promotional techniques and space policy, but the opportunities for others to hear them hitherto have been informal and catch-as-catch can.
This year, under the title “Many Roads to Space,“ the ISDC will create a special track of programming throughout the Conference whereby individual registrants may make a 15-minute presentation on any of such matters of special importance to them and of potential interest to others. Such matters may include “outside the box” topics, just-born concepts that need further development, or subjects of narrow or specialized interest. These mini-presentations should help spread the diversity of ideas and experiences that abound but which cannot always find a forum or do not need a full-length program slot.
Only ISDC registrants will be allowed an opportunity to make such a presentation, and the Conference Committee will give preferences in the order of registration. To apply, a registrant should email a request in substantially the following form to:
