The University of Toronto Astronomy and Space Exploration Society (ASX) announced its 9th annual symposium. The ASX symposium is an event that aims to educate the public on space exploration related topics. Past symposium speakers include the Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield, Anousheh Ansari, and Dr. Carolyn Porco.

The event’s topic this year is Space 2.0: What’s Next?. The end of the space shuttle era has brought the rise of private companies in the space sector. This year’s speakers, Dr. Nicole Buckley, Dr. Marc Millis, and Mr. Thomas A. Olson, will talk about emerging space technologies and how the private companies in the space sector will change the dynamics of the industry.

You can find more details about the symposium on the ASX 2012 Symposium page on Eventbrite. Also, ASX has a new website, which you might want to check out.
