Beyond Earth Institute

The Beyond Earth Institute will again host the Beyond Earth Symposium on November 1-2, 2023, in Washington, DC, building on the tremendous success of its inaugural Symposium in October 2022.

This year we go deeper into the policy issues impacting the rapidly evolving space ecosystem. Stakeholders from across the industry, government, and international sector will gather to examine the policy challenges of the moment and those that push the envelope to inspire the best chance for off-world migration in this century.

Honorary Chair of the Symposium

The Honorary Chair of the Symposium is Simon “Pete” Worden (Brig. Gen., USAF, Ret.), Chairman, Breakthrough Prize Foundation, and former Director of NASA Ames Research Center.
