Speakers discussed current communication challenges including too much focus on what our industry does rather than on impacts and a growing negative narrative around billionaires in space and offered concrete solutions such as focusing on the why of space activities, rather than just the how, and on engaging across a team or company on communications as a core part of strategy. Speakers also discussed the different roles communications for public relations and communications for marketing purposes play.
