The Space Conference here at the Farnborough Airshow was created to bring together members of the aerospace industry and government officials. Featuring keynote speakers and briefings, participants will be able to network, create business engagement and attend open forums that highlight the importance of the Space sector.
  
This year’s Space Conference is expected to grow by 25 percent compared to the 2014 airshow. Two years ago, 30 exhibitors participated in 10 seminars hosted by the UK Space Agency. Farnborough officials project that the Space sector could be worth £400 billion ($567 billion) by 2030, which, they said, is why the Space Conference continues to grow.
