SpaceVision 2020 Beyond Earth: Humanity as an Inte
Event Information
About this event
SpaceVision is almost as old as its organization, Students for the Exploration and Development of space (SEDS). It focuses on bringing together students of many disciplines from all corners of the country to celebrate their shared passion for all things space. Building on the tradition started in 1989 amongst the first SEDS chapters, this gathering includes panels of industry leaders, technical project competitions, and opportunities for our members to engage with current professionals from across the space sector. The growth of the conference in recent years parallels SEDS’ own remarkable expansion while preserving the original focus on creating student connections and empowering everyone to pursue a future in space.
Join hundreds of passionate young professionals for the annual national conference of SEDS. SpaceVision 2020 Beyond Earth: Humanity as an Interplanetary Species is organized and run entirely by students and will run through November 7-8, 2020 and be held virtually due to the state of pandemic and to ensure the health and safety of all participants.
Each year university chapters compete for the honor of hosting SpaceVision and are selected by the council of chapters. Submitted proposals include initial plans, potential guests, and an overall theme that highlights the university chapter. SEDS SpaceVision 2020 will be hosted by the SEDS University of North Texas chapter in conjunction with SEDS USA.

Students for the Exploration and Development of Space (SEDS) is a 501(c)3 non-profit that empowers young people to participate and make an impact in space exploration. SEDS helps students develop their technical and leadership skills by providing opportunities to manage and participate in national projects as well as to attend conferences, publish their work, and develop their professional network, in order to help students become more effective in their present and future careers in industry, academia, government, and education.
SEDS was founded as a chapter-based organization in 1980 at MIT by Peter Diamandis, at Princeton University by Scott Scharfman, and at Yale University by Richard Sorkin. SEDS-USA was founded as a national group in 1982 by Peter Diamandis, Bob Richards, and Todd Hawley. The largest student-run space organization in the world, it consists of an international community of high school, undergraduate, and graduate students from a diverse range of educational backgrounds in chapters all over the world, including Canada, India, Israel, Mexico, Nepal, Nigeria, Philippines, Spain, United Kingdom, and United States.
