In 2025, the CONFERS Policy Committee aims to educate the incumbent Administration and Congress about CONFERS and the satellite services industry with in-person events on Capitol Hill. Overall, the Consortium will continue to expand the scope of its activities and services to the global ISAM community and intensify “CONFERSations” among stakeholders internationally.
CONFERS is the independent not-for-profit global trade association developing recommendations for industry-led voluntary consensus standards and guiding international policies for satellite servicing. The consortium’s efforts consequently contribute to a sustainable, safe, and diverse space economy. CONFERS is open to membership by industry, academic research institutions, governments, and nonprofit and not-for- profit organizations and individuals who are interested in furthering the commercial satellite servicing industry.
