Shelli Brunswick - Human Spaceflight and Future Visions

Shelli Brunswick, COO of Space Foundation, brings a broad perspective and deep vision of the global space ecosystem — from a distinguished career as a space acquisition and program management leader and congressional liaison for the U.S. Air Force to her current role overseeing Space Foundation's three primary divisions: Center for Innovation and Education, Symposium 365, and Global Alliance.

Shelli bridges the space community and the broader public, fostering collaborations that drive the industry forward. As a prolific keynote speaker and author, she engages audiences on leadership, career success, and the practical applications of space technologies. A futurist, she works with global think tanks and contributes to initiatives shaping the future space paradigm. Her support for underrepresented groups has earned her recognition, including as one of the Top 100 Women of the Future in Emerging Technology and recipient of two Lifetime Achievement Awards. Shelli was also included in the 100 Voices for Our Planet, an initiative of the United Nations Environment Programme recognizing individuals for their contributions to sustainability and global environmental challenges.

Join us to hear Shelli's thoughts on how the technologies of a sovereign human space flight program can advance the long term goals of economic security for a country.
