Glasgow Space Congress

Lots of space scientist staying at the Argyll .

Glasgow Space Congress Sets Record (2 October)More space professionals from across the world than ever before gathered in Glasgow this week for a ground-breaking conference on the future of space technology and space travel. The International Astronautical Congress (IAC) held at the SECC was the 59th in the history of the Congress - and set a new record for attendance. There were more than 2,000 delegates - including representatives form the space agencies of America, Russia, China, Canada, Japan and Europe - compared to the previous record high of 1200.
Organiser John Harlow, President of the British Interplanetary Society, described the IAC 2008 as a “tremendous success”. “The hard work has really paid off and we are delighted that a record number of people have enjoyed a Congress that has exceeded all our expectations,” he said. “Glasgow has been a great host city and many of our delegates have commented on the friendly hospitality they have received.”
Steven Purcell, Leader of Glasgow City Council and Chair of Glasgow City Marketing Bureau, said: “It has been a privilege to watch events unfold at the SECC this week - GCMB has been streaming some of the Congress proceedings live on seeglasgow.com. The people of Glasgow have responded magnificently to this opportunity to impress space experts from around the globe with their warmth, wit and, above all, curiosity. And, of course, there’s still a day to go, so I would encourage Glaswegians everywhere to take advantage of the free exhibition and lectures by astronauts in the Congress’s final hours.”
