Space Economy - Tomorrow's World Today?
We  are  already  dependent  on  Space, even  if  we  do not  fully  realise  it. From  National  Security, the  farmer ploughing his fields, out say navs and even to racing cars  drivers  who  use  secure  comms  for  competitive advantage, Space is part of our everyday lives. A loss of  access  to  Space  would  cost  the  UK  economy  an estimated £1 billion per day.

Followed by a festive Networking Session with Seasonal Drinks, Mince Pies and musical entetainment.

From Ropes to WiFi the Surprising Story of Stage Lighting Control
