Think Tanks

Following the success of 2022, the ELEVATE Space Conference will create multiple Space Industry Think Thanks on the Future of Space Exploration and the Environmental Impacts.

The conference will inspire the participants with amazing stories of spaceflights and spacewalks from former Astronauts' journey beyond the edge of space, as well as the evolution of their perspective on humanity; to zoom out to a greater perspective where we can see one planet as one borderless spaceship, called planet Earth. This can foster collaborative environments where teammates can achieve their true potential.

With this perspective, the ELEVATE Space Conference encourages participants, businesses and professionals to view and live their lives as if they would be crew mates with others on a spaceship, respecting differences and enhancing collaboration through diversity. Every small step in our daily lives counts to create a more liveable and conscious planet.

“We live in a world where the possibilities are only limited by our imagination and our will to act. We do not have to accept the status quo on our planet. It is possible to eliminate the suffering and conflict in our world: Nothing is Impossible #TheKeyIsWe.” - Ron Garan, former NASA astronau

Space Conference for Children and Exploration day

The Saturday morning conference will be dedicated to children and students of the Principality, with the main message that we can achieve more together in peace and unity.

In 2022, the conference was a full house with children ranging from 4 to 17 years old.

From the thrilling first launch, to what it was like for Ron to step out into space on his very first spacewalk, Ron’s story made the students feel like they are traveling with him on these magical journeys. While they were sitting in awe, the former astronaut described what it felt like when leaving Earth for the very first time or seeing the beauty of our planet from space, which we could never imagine before space travel and exploration existed.

After joining on a 71 million-mile journey from the heart of the Principality, local students enjoyed an exciting and insightful presentation about space and had the chance to ask the former NASA astronaut their most intriguing questions.

"We really need more educational events like that in Monaco. Well adapted for small children as well as for bigger ones. The astronaut was engaged with the students, and took the time to answer questions. I could see a lot of the kids with shining eyes." - Pascale Lurie, International School of Monaco

The Saturday program is complimentary, but registration is necessarily.

Please note that the date and the program is provisional.
