Berkeley Space Symposium 2024

The Berkeley Space Symposium 2024 is the largest undergraduate aerospace event at UC Berkeley. It will be held at Pauley Ballroom on October 11th, 2024. Building on the success of the event last year, when we welcomed 15 companies and 300+ student attendees, we are excited to expand and accommodate an even greater array of industry participants and students this year. The event is endorsed by UC Berkeley’s Department of Aerospace Engineering and will encompass a career fair, speed mentoring session, series of student presentations, keynote from a space expert, and an interactive panel discussion.

Moreover, a dedicated networking session will help build meaningful connections as well as facilitate dialogue between emerging talents and established professionals. Our career fair provides a unique opportunity for attendees to engage directly with representatives from prominent aerospace companies, research institutions, and startups.

This year, we’re introducing a speed mentoring session at the start of the event, designed to promote discussion between industry mentors and students. Signups are limited to the first 80 students due to capacity. Ticket drops will start on September 23rd and continue until September 27th, with 16 tickets released each day on a first-come, first-served basis. Don’t miss this chance to connect with industry professionals, gain quick insights, and receive valuable advice!

We are excited to announce a drawing at this year’s symposium with over 13 prizes totaling over $1200! The top three prizes include:

1. Space Gray AirPods Max
2. Milky Way Galaxy Lego Set
3. The Original Astronaut Space Pen

Other prizes include, but are not limited to, space pens, posters, pins, socks, mugs, and various other space-related items.
