SpaceUp Phoenix 2019
Details
SpaceUp is an “un-conference” with the theme of space exploration that is part of Arizona SciTech Festival. No detailed agenda is prepared in advance, as speakers fill out a program schedule spontaneously at the event. This allows for new topics to pop up based on prior topics and splinter sessions. Think of it as a “pot luck” where everyone brings something to share.

Everyone who attends SpaceUp is encouraged to give a talk, moderate a panel, or start a discussion. Sessions are proposed and scheduled on the day they’re given, which means the usual “hallway conversations” turn into full-fledged topics.
