NEAF is

NEAF is  the world’s prëeminent symposium for award winning talks, workshops, classes, and conferences.  NEAF is an annual gathering of more than 4,000 professionals, amateurs, and space and astronomy enthusiasts, all coming together to share interests and passions.

NEAF brings over 120 vendors and exhibiters from around the world, representing every major manufacturer and dealer in the business, which also makes it one of the largest trade shows and collaborative venues of its kind in the world, not to mention an enthusiast’s shopping paradise.

NEAF is a true ‘Forum’ of events for anyone who has gazed upward to the night sky and found a curiosity to understand the cosmos that lies beyond our own thin atmosphere.   Each year NEAF searches the globe to present an all star line up of amazing guests that are making history today. Nowhere else can you find such an exciting array of programs brought together in one place and at one time.

Quite simply- If space and astronomy interest you, then you don’t want to miss NEAF.

NEAF is a 501(c)3 educational non-profit event produced by the Rockland Astronomy Club, Inc.
