The OAB is pleased to be a Satellite Partner for the International Affairs Forum, a program of Northwestern Michigan College. For the fourth year, we will be live streaming IAF's regular programming and providing a wine reception prior to each event. This is an exclusive opportunity to bring important conversations to members of the OAB community for whom traveling to Traverse City may pose a barrier.

The OAB will have a host on site to share any questions from the audience through a direct chat with IAF. This is a FREE EVENT.

Join us on Thursday, March 19 for a discussion on The New Space Race: How Data, Resources, and Power Are Shaping Our Future presented by NMC's IAF Student Leadership Team.

The IAF Student Leadership Team will explore the new space race, as governments and corporations compete for technological advantage, data control, and access to resources. As space infrastructure outpaces legal and international frameworks, the students and invited experts examine the consequences for citizens, the environment, and the balance of global power—and why international cooperation is essential as humanity expands beyond Earth.
