The International Space Exploration Forum (ISEF) is a meeting for dialogue among ministers and other high-level government representatives targeted at promoting international collaboration in space exploration.
The inaugural meeting of ISEF took place in January, 2014 in Washington D.C., U.S.A. In March, 2018, the 2nd ISEF was convened in Tokyo, Japan.
In conjunction with this international ministerial-level forum, side events were also held geared for industry (general public may observe: registration required) and young professionals (participants will be solicited through an open application process) with the objective of advancing international space exploration.
