The Advisory Board is shaped through a deliberate selection process that seeks relevant expertise within each stakeholder group, while also reflecting wider international representation.
Each pillar reflects a distinct area of focus within the evolving space and defence landscape. Together they define the conversations, agenda, and stakeholder community that Counterspace is designed to convene.
Counterspace is designed to reflect the full breadth of the space ecosystem. Different stakeholder groups sit across different combinations of these pillars in practice, reflecting the distinct roles they play in shaping the space domain.
This structure helps ensure that the event is not built around a single constituency, but around the wider set of communities shaping the future of space security, resilience, safety, and sustainability.
From defence ministries and space commands to civil agencies, operators, regulators, industry, and academia — Counterspace is designed to convene the communities whose decisions and capabilities increasingly shape the space domain.
Each stakeholder group engages with Counterspace through a different combination of the four pillars, reflecting the varied roles they play in shaping the future of the space domain.
