Innovation at the Edge: Space, Technology, and the Future of Business

Description In a world defined by rapid change, emerging technologies, and global interconnection, leadership requires a broader perspective—one that looks beyond immediate challenges to understand the systems shaping our future.

In this engaging and thought-provoking talk, Shelli Brunswick introduces the Space Mindset—a leadership framework inspired by the space economy and designed to help individuals and organizations build markets, develop talent, and scale impact in meaningful ways.

Drawing on real-world examples from space, business, and global innovation ecosystems, Shelli explores how:

Markets are built by seeing opportunity where others see limitations
Talent is developed by investing in people before outcomes are guaranteed
Scale is achieved by designing systems that continue to grow beyond any one individual

This is not a talk about space—it’s a talk about perspective, leadership, and possibility. Attendees will leave with practical insights they can apply within their businesses, communities, and service initiatives to create lasting impact.
