NYSG & Empire Space Partner for Space Day
On May 25th, the anniversary of JFK's Moon Speech, NYSG partnered with Empire Space for their very first Space Day New York Event! Empire Space is a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to comprehensively analyzing, supporting, and promoting the New York space sector. Empire Space looks to build community within the New York space sector to encourage greater economic growth, research and development, and academic and commercial opportunities. Space Day 2023 was the inaugural event to prepare for a bigger and more robust Space Day 2024 Event.
The Themes of Space Day 2023 were:
A decentralized, community specific approach. Encourage stakeholders to adapt existing programming to a Space Day theme, or design new programming that fits within their scope and budget
.Virtual & Hybrid Events. Identify a core group of stakeholders interested in hosting a series of virtual events including presentations and discussion forums.
Networking and Planning for 2024. Strong focus on building up connectivity and networking within the space sector. Establish new recurring events, invite new users to existing platforms, and keep an eye on big 2024 events (e.g.,Eclipse, Yuri’s Night, Space Day 2024)
Informational Outreach. Send out informational packets to Legislative and Media offices to begin raising awareness about the power and potential of the New York space ecosystem.

Empire Space was able to bring people together from across the state to discuss the New York space ecosystem and their plans moving forward. Along with Space Day, Empire Space has hosted several events this year, with over 100+ participants across all five events. These events discussed various topics ranging from regulation in space finance, how to build your personal brand, and a STEAM workshop for kids.
Here are several Youtube videos for upcoming Space Day events, please give Empire Space a like and a share!
Empire Space will be hosting the Summit for Space Sustainability coming up on June 13th & 14th in NYC!
