2024 Conference highlights

The 2024 AMOS Conference, September 17-20, celebrated 25 years at the Wailea Beach Resort, Maui. Presented by Maui Economic Development Board (MEDB), the premier technical conference in the nation devoted to Space Domain Awareness hosted 1101 in-person attendees with a further 231 participating virtually.

For a quarter century the AMOS Conference has been at the forefront of technical exchange in space situational awareness” said Leslie Wilkins, MEDB President and CEO, in her welcome remarks. “AMOS brings together a diverse audience to bridge technical gaps, foster international cooperation, and advance space sustainability. With over half of the audience in the private sector, the trend remains reflective of the continuing commercialization of space and related technologies.

The opening segment of the conference began with a traditional Hawaiian invocation with a reflection and sense of place to set the tone for the week. The message provided guidance and a reminder of responsibility as stewards of the land.

The annual AMOS Conference program featured daily keynote speakers, SSA/SDA policy forums, featured presentations, technical oral and poster sessions, exhibits, short courses and networking receptions. Both in-person and livestream attendees had access to a virtual platform to facilitate networking and collaboration before, during and after the conference.
