Own the New Space economy
The new space economy is taking flight — and Greater Washington is where it will land. On November 11–12, 2025 at Capital One Hall in Tysons, VA, based on the proven format of Quantum World Congress, Connected DMV will convene the leaders, investors, policymakers, and builders shaping the orbital economy at spaceNEXT.
As a sponsor and program partner, your organization has the opportunity to showcase thought leadership, launch announcements, and connect directly with federal decision-makers, primes, investors, startups, and allies.
Why back spaceNEXT?
Because we’ve done this before — and it works.
At Quantum World Congress 2025, the playbook delivered:
1000+ attendees from 31 countries — the most globally diverse edition yet.
69.8% executive/leadership attendees and 13% government, including ambassadors, federal agencies, governors, and senior industry executives.
Delegations from the UK, Finland, Korea, Canada, Singapore, India, the Netherlands, and beyond.
Platinum sponsors like Microsoft achieved 93% sponsor recall and hosted exclusive engagements with more than 100 senior leaders across industry, government, and diplomacy.
spaceNEXT will deliver the same level of visibility and impact, with a focus on the commercialization of space.
