Breaking into the space industry can feel like a closed door. This is your chance to see what is behind it.

On Saturday 7th November 2026, UKSEDS, the University of Kent Physics Society and KCL Space Society are bringing a full day of early careers in space to the University of Kent, Canterbury. You will hear from industry speakers about how they got started, what the work is really like, and what they would tell themselves at your stage.

You will also see what student societies are building through the Kent and KCL showcase sessions, and meet people from across the space community, from fellow students to professionals already working in the sector.
