The program for the three days is outlined below, and although alternative papers will be considered that are related to these fields, it is expected that these themes will make up the main focus of the discussions. The event will be held at the CUNY New York City College of Technology, Atrium Amphitheatre, Namm building, 300 Jay St, Brooklyn, NY 11201, USA.

The opening dinner will take place at the Harvard Club of New York City, 35 West 44th Street, on Monday 12th June. Art exhibitions by C Bangs, Carmela Tal Baron and Kari Weatherbee who will all be in attendance. Moreover, art work will be exhibited from the artists Adrian Mann, David Hardy and Alex Storer. Inspiring classical music and a poetry reading will provide entertainment while discussing about the Cosmos and interstellar travel.

• Day 1: Energetic Reaction Engines
• Day 2: Sails And Beams
• Day 3: Breakthrough Propulsion
