Widely Attended Gatherings (WAGs) Determinations - NASA

NASA's Widely Attended Gatherings (WAGs) Determinations Revealed

The National Space Council (NSC) has released its determination for the widely attended gatherings of 2025, which have been closely watched by industry professionals and enthusiasts alike. According to the NSC, a total of nine events made the list, with NASA itself hosting one of them.

At number seven on the list is the 76th International Astronautical Congress (IAC), which brought together over 8,000 attendees from around the world. This event is considered one of the most prestigious in the space industry and sets the stage for global cooperation and collaboration on space-related endeavors.

The list also includes other prominent events such as the Space Foundation Reception, MSBR Rooftop Reception, AIAA Dinner, STScI Event, and Rocket Lab Event. These gatherings highlight the growing importance of private sector investment in space technology.

Notably absent from this year's list are some of last year's most notable events, including the JWST Launch, which was held just a few months ago. The absence of these events may be due to various factors such as changes in sponsorship or increased security measures.

The determination of these widely attended gatherings is an effort by NASA and other space agencies to monitor industry trends and identify areas for collaboration and improvement. By analyzing the attendees, sponsors, and speakers at each event, researchers aim to better understand the priorities and needs of the space community.

In addition to this list, there are also events in 2024 that have gained recognition. These include the MeriTalk Reception, Aero Club Awards Dinner, and Rocket Lab Event.

Overall, these widely attended gatherings provide valuable insights into the evolving nature of the space industry and highlight the importance of collaboration, innovation, and cooperation among stakeholders.
 
πŸš€ I'm loving how the WAGs list is growing! It's amazing to see all these events bringing people together from around the world to discuss the future of space tech πŸŒπŸ’». The fact that NASA hosted one of them shows just how far we've come in terms of global cooperation and collaboration πŸ”₯. However, I do find it a bit surprising that some big-name events like JWST Launch didn't make the cut this year πŸ˜•. Maybe they were just overshadowed by all the other awesome events on the list? Either way, it's always exciting to see what's trending in the space community and how we can work together to push boundaries πŸš€πŸ’ͺ
 
πŸš€ I'm kinda bummed that the JWST Launch didn't make it to this year's list πŸ€”. That was such an epic event! But at the same time, I get why NASA would want to track industry trends and see what's changing. It's like they're trying to get a pulse on the space community before making any big decisions πŸ“Š.

And can we talk about how cool it is that private sector investment is becoming more prominent? Like, Rocket Lab is killing it right now πŸ’₯! The future of space tech looks bright, and I'm excited to see what's in store for us πŸ‘€.

But, on the other hand, I do wish some of last year's events would still be around πŸ€—. It's like, you know when something's working? Don't mess with it, right? πŸ˜‚
 
omg what's up with all these events? like 8k people at one congress? can't they just have a meetup like normal ppl? πŸ€―πŸ’Έ also why JWST launch is missing from this list tho? didn't that thing break the internet πŸš€πŸ‘½
 
omg yall NASA's WAGs just dropped and I'm SO here for it πŸš€πŸ‘! 9 events made the cut and I know some ppl are salty that JWST Launch didn't make it πŸ€”... maybe they had sponsorship issues or security beefs πŸ€‘. anywayz, the events on this list are giving me LIFE πŸ’–... from space foundation receptions to rocket lab shindigs, there's so much excitement around space tech right now πŸš€πŸ’»! and yaaas for global coop & collab 🀝... we need more ppl coming together to push boundaries in space exploration 🌟 can't wait to see what 2026 brings πŸŽ‰
 
πŸš€ 8k people at one event? That's wild! 🀯 Guess it says a lot about how invested NASA is in making this IAC thing a big deal 😎. Don't get me wrong, it's dope to see the private sector coming together but can we talk about why some of the bigger events like JWST launch didn't make the cut? πŸ“Š Maybe it was just sponsorship issues but it's still weird that they got skipped πŸ€”
 
I'm thinking, what's up with NASA not hosting one of their own events in 2025? I mean, they're always talking about collaboration and global cooperation, but they can't even get it together to host a decent gathering themselves πŸ€”. It's like they're leaving all the cool stuff to the private sector companies, like Rocket Lab. Don't get me wrong, those guys are awesome and all, but come on, NASA should be hosting some of these events too! Maybe it's just a sign that things are changing in the space industry and we need to adapt.

Anyway, I do love seeing events like the 76th International Astronautical Congress on this list. It's amazing to think about how many people from all over the world get together to discuss space-related stuff. And what's cool is that these events help us understand the priorities of the space community. We need more collaboration and innovation, for sure! πŸ’‘

Oh, and I wonder why some events are absent this year. Is it because things have changed or maybe there were security concerns? Whatever the reason, I think it's interesting to see how these events can influence our understanding of the industry. Keep on trucking, space folks! πŸš€
 
omg what a bummer that JWST launch wasnt on the list πŸš€πŸ˜” i mean i get it with increased security measures and all but still cant believe its not included 🀯 NASA should totes invite me 2 next years event tho πŸŽ‰ im totally gonna wear my "NASA Super Fan" tshirt πŸ‘•πŸ‘–
 
the list of nasa's wags is kinda interesting πŸ€”. i mean, 76th international astronautical congress being number seven on the list makes sense, cuz it's like, a big deal for the space community πŸš€. but what's up with JWST launch not making it? did nasa just lose some major sponsors or something? πŸ€‘ and btw, why is rocket lab event popping up twice in different years? maybe they're trying to keep things interesting 😜. anyway, i think it's cool that nasa is monitoring industry trends and trying to identify areas for collab. it's all about innovation and cooperation in space tech πŸ’».
 
I'm so sorry I'm late to this thread... πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈπŸš€ anyway, what's interesting is why some big events like JWST launch are not included in this year's list 😐. Are they trying to downplay the event or something? I mean, it was a huge deal just a few months ago and now it's like it doesn't even matter πŸ€”. Not saying it's bad for NASA's reputation or anything, but maybe we should be more excited about events like these happening in space exploration πŸš€πŸ’₯
 
omg, can u believe NASA is hosting an event in the top 9? 🀯 that's like a huge deal! I was wondering why they didn't make it to last year's list after all the hype around the JWST launch... maybe there were some sponsorship issues or security concerns? idk πŸ€”

anywayz, I'm loving how private sector investment is getting more recognition in space tech - it's like the industry is finally waking up and seeing the potential of collab and innovation πŸ’‘. and it's so cool that they're using data from these events to understand industry trends and improve collaboration... it's like they're trying to make space more awesome for everyone πŸš€πŸ‘½
 
I'm like totally stoked that NASA's 76th International Astronautical Congress made it to number seven on WAGs list! πŸš€ I mean, who wouldn't want to attend an event with over 8,000 space enthusiasts from around the world? It's crazy how many events have popped up in the space industry, though - like, nine of them! 🀯

I'm a bit surprised that JWST Launch didn't make it onto the list this year, though. Maybe NASA just changed the sponsorship game or something? Anyway, I think it's awesome that NASA and other agencies are trying to keep tabs on what's going on in the space community. It's all about collaboration and innovation, right?

I'm curious to see which events from 2024 made the cut - is there a particular one that caught your eye? πŸ€”
 
πŸš€ I'm not surprised to see JWST Launch missing from this year's list, to be honest πŸ€”. The whole world was glued to that event last year, and it's natural for some events to fade into the background after such a big launch πŸŽ‰. But still, it's interesting to see how sponsorship and security measures might affect which events get recognized πŸ‘€.

I wonder if we'll see more private sector involvement in space gatherings next year? It feels like that's where the industry is headed πŸ’Έ. NASA hosting one of these events themselves is cool, but I'm curious to see what kind of impact that has on collaboration and innovation 🀝.

And 8,000 attendees at the IAC is wild πŸ™Œ. That's a whole lotta space enthusiasts in one room πŸ˜‚. What's your take on this year's WAGs? Any surprises or observations? πŸš€
 
just saw this lol 76k people at one conference 🀯 is that even possible? but seriously, it's cool to see how much space tech has grown up in the last year... and i'm not surprised JWST Launch didn't make the cut, that was a major deal last year 😊
 
πŸš€ I gotta say, it's kinda surprising to see the 76th International Astronautical Congress at #7 on the list πŸ€”. I mean, it's a huge deal for space enthusiasts and pros alike! πŸŽ‰ But what caught my eye is the fact that some big-name events like the JWST Launch are missing from this year's list πŸ“Ί. Maybe it was just timing or sponsorship issues? πŸ€‘ Anyway, I think it's awesome that NASA and other agencies are keeping track of industry trends and trying to collab with each other more 🀝. Here's a quick diagram to illustrate my thoughts: ``` +---------------+ +---------------+ +---------------+ | JWST Launch | | Space Foundation| | Rocket Lab Event| | MSBR Rooftop Reception| | AIAA Dinner| | STScI Event| +---------------+ +---------------+ +---------------+ ```
