Space keynote speaker 2026: Matthew Griffin
Matthew Griffin is a futurist keynote speaker who covers the future of space: falling launch costs, satellites and connectivity, the new space economy, and the plans to build, manufacture and live beyond Earth. He has given a dedicated keynote on the future of space and covers it in his wider technology sessions, in person worldwide.
In his keynote on the future of space for 1BusinessWorld's Leaders of the World summit, Matthew showed how the falling cost of launching rockets and payloads is bringing space tourism, space hotels and manufacturing in space closer to commercial reality, and looked at the plans of countries and companies for the Moon, Mars and beyond.
His communications keynote in the same series covered the low Earth orbit satellites and high altitude platforms that will help connect the next four billion people. Fanatical Futurist also has its own space news section.
