In her welcome remarks, Leslie Wilkins, MEDB President and CEO, said, “Since MEDB assumed stewardship in 2006, AMOS has evolved into a premier global forum for technical experts, policymakers, industry innovators, academics, and international partners — all committed to advancing space sustainability. AMOS is where technical depth meets strategic policy dialogue, forging meaningful collaboration across sectors.”

Held on Maui at the Wailea Beach Resort, the opening segment of the conference included a traditional Hawaiian invocation to bring place and purpose to the week and remind the audience of their Kuleana (responsibility) as stewards of the islands and of the shared space domain.

The annual AMOS Conference program featured daily keynote speakers, policy forums, featured presentations, technical oral and poster sessions, exhibits, technical short courses and networking receptions. Both in-person and livestream attendees had access to a virtual platform to facilitate networking and collaboration before, during and after the conference.
