ISDC 2025 Preview, Terrific Speakers, Programming & Networking

Welcome to our ISDC 2025 Preview Program!

Aggie Kobrin and Rod Pyle joined us to share an exciting look at what you can expect at this year’s International Space Development Conference (ISDC), happening in Orlando. For full details, visit https://isdc.nss.org.

Aggie and Rod walked us through a stellar lineup of keynote speakers and program track participants—including the likely next NASA Administrator, Jared Isaacman. Attendees will enjoy a packed schedule and unique opportunities, such as special tours of Kennedy Space Center, Cape Canaveral, and the impressive museum featuring one of the few remaining Saturn V rockets on full display.

Highlights include:

A can't-miss SpaceX band performance

Networking opportunities galore

Meet-and-greets with astronauts

Awards presentations honoring prominent figures in space

For nature lovers, simply driving around the Cape offers a chance to experience incredible local wildlife. You will see lots of lazy and probably hungry gators too. Don't get a flat!

We also fielded several questions about the conference schedule, logistics, and what to expect in the Orlando area. This year’s tracks are stronger than ever, with key themes including Space Settlement, Living in Space (featuring Dr. Bell), Artificial Intelligence, Space Health, New Space, and more.

We discussed the great value of joining the National Space Society (NSS)—members receive benefits like the acclaimed quarterly print magazine, Ad Astra.
