SPACETIDE began in 2015 as Japan’s first private-sector-led commercial space conference. This conference is our origin and remains the core initiative of the SPACETIDE Foundation.
Today, it has grown into one of the largest space business conferences in the Asia-Pacific region, attracting over 200 speakers and almost 2,000 participants from 35 countries.
Spanning four days, the event features more than 60 sessions where leaders from the space sector and beyond come together to engage in forward-looking discussions on the future of human society. The conference serves as a launchpad for new ideas and bold initiatives that reach global audiences.

Key Activities:

• Planning and operations support for the conference
• Coordination and research related to speakers and partner organizations
• Drafting session concepts and program outlines
• On-site operations and online streaming support
• Conference promotion and social media outreach

This project offers a rare opportunity to engage directly with the forefront of the global space business and interact with key players from around the world.
We welcome those who are eager to help shape SPACETIDE’s flagship event and be the face of our organization on the global stage!
