Useful guide to the Space Zone Theatre, events featuring Space4Climate and our members, and who’s exhibiting. Join the audience for our panel, 3.20-4.10pm
‘Technology is no longer the limiter: it’s uptake, usability and insight’ – that’s the strong message our programme lead Donna Lyndsay will be giving on the Space Zone Theatre stage at Farnborough International Airshow (FIA) this year.
Donna joins a panel of Space4Climate members at the world-famous event in Hampshire on Wednesday, July 22nd, titled ‘EO to Action: Turning Earth Data into Decisions’.
We will be reunited with our former S4C colleague Sabrina Alam who is moderating the influential line-up of speakers:
-
- Charlie Candy, Chief Revenue Officer & UK Managing Director, Planet;
- Danielle Edwards, VP, Commercial Satcom, Open Cosmos
- Giuseppe Borghi, Head of the Phi-Lab, Earth Observation Programmes Directorate, European Space Agency – ESA
- They will bring their perspectives and experience into the discussion on how EO, AI and analytics are being translated into trusted, decision‑ready intelligence and what users need in terms of speed, accuracy and integration for EO to drive real‑world action at scale.
