The UK Space Conference is an bi-annual conference devoted to space, held in the United Kingdom. The conference hosts the Sir Arthur Clarke Award prizegiving dinner.

History

The UK Space Conference evolved out of the British Rocket Oral History Programme (BROHP) annual conference which had been running since 1998. The rebranding of the conference in 2007 signalled a broadening of its remit. The 2008 event included parallel sessions on Education, Research, Engineering and Astronomy as well as History.

Until 2010, the conference was held at Charterhouse School in Surrey in March each year.[1] Beginning in 2011, the conference has been held every two years.

The 2017 conference was held at the Manchester Central Convention Complex between 30 May and 1 June. Sponsors included the UK Space Agency, ESA and DSTL.[2]
