Jared Isaacman — NASA Executive Outlook

What he is speaking on:
NASA’s strategic direction, including the agency’s priorities for lunar exploration, commercial partnerships, mission execution, and continued American leadership in space.

Why he was chosen:
As NASA Administrator, Jared Isaacman provides the agency-level vision that should anchor the SpaceCom program. What makes him especially compelling is his unusual combination of perspectives: government leader, successful entrepreneur, accomplished pilot, and commercial astronaut. He commanded Inspiration4 and Polaris Dawn and performed the first commercial spacewalk, giving him firsthand experience with the commercial capabilities now reshaping human spaceflight.

Mark Boggett — Economic Outlook

What he is speaking on:
The outlook for the global space economy—including investment trends, capital availability, market maturity, and the technologies and business models most likely to attract funding and achieve commercial scale.

Why he was chosen:
Mark Boggett brings a space-specific investment perspective rather than a general economic forecast. As CEO and General Partner of Seraphim Space, he has helped build one of the world’s most extensive SpaceTech investment platforms. Seraphim’s portfolio and accelerator provide him with exceptional visibility into where capital is moving, which companies are gaining traction, and what separates promising technology from an investable business.
