Activate NM

Most networking events focus on who you know.

Space Fiesta is about who you haven't met yet.

Join entrepreneurs, technologists, researchers, creatives, founders, students, and community leaders for an evening of meaningful conversations and unexpected connections.

Whether you're working in space, tech, education, manufacturing, media, healthcare, AI, the arts, or simply curious about what's happening in New Mexico's innovation ecosystem, you're invited.

✨ Business + Community Networking
✨ Space, Tech & Innovation
✨ New Connections & Big Ideas
✨ Free & Open to the Public

The future isn't built by one industry alone. It's built when people from different backgrounds come together to share ideas.

Come meet the people shaping what's next.
