 WHY ATTEND 

What is Space Beach Law Lab?

Space Beach Law Lab is a network of people building the legal, regulatory, and commercial foundations of the new space economy. Launched as an annual conference, SBLL has grown to include regional satellite events, webinars, MCLE sessions, and networking functions. 

Our flagship conference convenes hundreds of attendees from around the globe to address pivotal topics and legal frameworks: export controls, international treaties, launch politics, militarization, IP rights, and the emerging commercial space economy. 

"Some people hear 'space law,' and their first reaction is often confusion or disbelief that it's a real thing," said Drea Bernardi, producer and founding partner. "But space technology affects aspects of everyday life down here on Earth, whether it's satellite technology or national security. As space continues to grow into a trillion-dollar industry — space is definitely going to need more lawyers!"

Southern California continues to be the beating heart of American aerospace innovation, and SBLL acts as a vital connective artery.

 

"We created Space Beach Law Lab to bring together this community of cutting-edge legal minds and industry pioneers," said founder Justin Hectus. "This is where the economy of the future is being built, right here in Space Beach, California — and we wanted a place to hash out the big ideas, not just once a year, but continuously."

Who you'll meet

The conference offers unparalleled networking opportunities, drawing leading experts, policymakers, industry professionals, and academics to Long Beach—a hub for aerospace innovation. It’s the perfect place to connect with key players shaping the future of space exploration.
