With Under One Sky just around the corner, we’d love to know: what brought you to the dark sky movement? Are you an astronomy enthusiast concerned about skyglow diminishing our view of the universe? Do you live along a crucial bird migration route impacted by urban light? Or perhaps a neighbor’s unshielded floodlight streaming through your window at night led you to DarkSky resources.
However your journey to the dark sky movement began, you’re now a vital part of it.
If you haven’t yet saved your virtual seat, we encourage you to register now to join us online at the global opening of Under One Sky and participate in the incredible lineup of workshops and sessions that will span a 24-hour period.
Under One Sky is the premier conference uniting our growing community. With inspiring keynote speakers, intimate breakout sessions, and vibrant social hours, you’ll connect with others who share your passion for the night sky. Together we’ll share our work, exchange ideas, and strengthen the bonds that make our movement powerful. There are countless reasons why preserving the night matters, each of us holding our own unique connection to it. Every perspective, every experience, is essential.
So join us as we unite for the night! Together, we’ll bring passionate minds and bright ideas to the forefront.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Under one sky,
DarkSky Engagement Team
