Past ISDCs

The International Space Development Conference (ISDC) is the annual conference of the National Space Society. The first International Space Development Conference was held in 1982. The ISDC is unique in that it brings together members of the general public with space activists, scientists, engineers, educators, astronauts, aerospace industry leaders, and government officials for one purpose: to explore humanity's future in space. The following table provides a listing of current and previous ISDCs, along with a link to the associated web site, if any.
