Record applications for the 2007 Space Generation Congress

The first round of applications for the 2007 Space Generation Congress has closed and set many records!

The SGC organising team has done a fantastic job promoting this year and we are pleased to see the following results:

  • There are over 250 applicants (Highest ever for a conference outside the US).
  • A greater percentage of female applicants than ever before.
  • There are applicants from 61 different countries (more than ever) and several countries that have not had applicants in the past.
  • There are 80 applicants who have been accepted to present their own papers at the IAC

These are just some of the numbers that show how great the applicants are this year. We look forward to reviewing the applications and hosting a great Space Generation Congress.
