There's a kind of conversation that doesn't survive the inbox.

The kind where someone leans in halfway through, says "actually, the real problem is…" and an entire roadmap shifts by lunch. The kind that starts as a five-minute hello, or during a drink, and ends with a partnership offer scribbled on the back of a badge. Every single one of them happened in a room — never on a Zoom, never in an email thread.

That's why we're heading to Space Meetings Veneto in Venice, from 11 to 13 of May.

For two days, the European space ecosystem — operators, primes, agencies, founders, investors, public actors — will be concentrated in one place, with one shared assumption: that the next chapter of European space is being written outside the obvious capitals, and that Italy has more to say in it than people realise.

We want to be in those conversations. Not pitching. Not networking in the abstract. 

Actually talking.

‍

Who we want to see

Three groups, specifically:

Partners we already work with. If we've already talked, planned together, or argued about how much communication is important for space companies together in the past twelve months — we owe you a coffee. Block the time. We want to hear what's next on your side and tell you what's next on ours.

Space companies rethinking how they show up. If your story is bigger than your current website, your messaging hasn't caught up to your funding round, or you're realising your communications need to scale faster than your engineering — we're the conversation you want to have early, not late.

Founders, agencies, and operators who care about the European space ecosystem. Not for a transaction. For the long game. We learn the most from the people building adjacent to us, and we'd rather find each other in a hallway in Veneto than on LinkedIn six months from now.

‍

What we'll trade

20min. We come prepared. If you book a slot, we'll do our homework on you before we arrive — your last release, your funding stage, the gap between what you're saying and what you're actually building. No deck. No pitch. Just a focused conversation about what's working, what isn't, and what we'd recommend you do about it.

If something useful comes from it, great. If not, you walked away with sharper thinking. Either way, no time wasted.

‍

Book a slot

We have a limited number of meeting windows across the two days. They're going to fill — book the time that works for you directly on the calendar:

If you're going to be there and you can't see a time that works, reply to this and we'll find one.

See you in Venice.
