SpaceUp Manchester is an ‘’unconference’’ totally dedicated to everything about Space. Unconferences have been held about technology, science, transit, and even cupcakes, but this is the first one focused on Space Exploration. What makes SpaceUp Manchester different from other conferences is that it is you, the participants, who decide the topics, what gets talked about, themes, and the structure of the event, and most importantly, take an active part in talking and joining in the debates. It’s like the best bits of a formal conference – the coffee break discussions, networking and excitement at new ideas – without someone shuffling you back into an auditorium to be lectured at! SpaceUp Manchester is an event for space enthusiasts of every capacity, from young people to students, educators to scientists, creatives to citizens, technologists to entrepreneurs, and professionals within the space and research community. All attendees are expected to give a demo, present a talk, participate in a panel, or join a roundtable. Don’t worry! The unconference format will bring together people to discuss space-related topics in an open, friendly forum. Manchester will build upon other SpaceUp’s success, for the North West community.
