NEW YORK - s4story -- Taking place on June 16 at Convene, 117 West 46th Street, the Summit will open with "Moon Joy: Stories From Our Universe," a keynote exploring how NASA transforms some of the most complex missions in the world into powerful, globally recognized stories.

Presented by David Rager, Creative Director at NASA, and Sami Aziz, Founder and Executive Producer at Pale Blue Originals, the session offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at creative operations at planetary scale - from rocket launches and solar eclipses to global broadcast events involving multiple agencies and stakeholders.

Rather than focusing solely on inspiration, the keynote examines the operational reality behind NASA's storytelling: how creative teams are built, briefed, and coordinated under extreme constraints, and how clarity, structure, and collaboration make the impossible visible.
