New Worlds is A Space Event Like No other
We start with the credible, and blend in the incredible. From spaceships to settlements, entrepreneurs to educators, astronauts to artists.
The goal is simple – educate, entertain and enable you to become part of what is to come
Then we introduce some of the newest minds and rising stars presenting papers and business concepts reflecting some of the most advanced thinking on the planet.
And then you vote for the best ideas.
After all, it’s your frontier

WE ARE MAKING SPACE COOL (AGAIN?)
Join us as we and our Celebrity Master of Ceremonies Cas Anvar (Captain of the Rocinante on “the Expanse”) honour the year’s best science fiction movies and TV shows at a cool and very special event, featuring artists, musicians, food and dance. We will also honour one of the world’s top space educators and of course present the Space Cowboy Award winner! (past recipients have been Jeff Bezos and Buzz Aldrin…who will it be this time?)
It’s 2020. You’re invited to a formal affair at a space colony on the Moon or Mars. What on Earth (or space) will you wear? The first three Space Cowboy Balls were a rousing success. The 2020 edition will be a must-attend event of both the space and Austin celebrity year.
Space has been too boring for too long. We are committed to both the technology and culture of tomorrow. It’s a little like a second Halloween, this time for grown ups, space geeks and cos play gamers (but even those 21st century retro tuxes and business suites are ok). From the Expanse to Serenity, Star Wars to Star Trek, and all the best science fiction futures in between, come join us on a micro-Burning Man rocket ride. We’ll give out some awards, eat some great barbeque and then we Party!
