Unsubscribe Me from Your Conference Emails

…and the inbox spam they rode in on

The most beloved space conference of the year is just around the corner.
Small Satellite Conference. THE SMALLSAT.

Everyone’s going.
Everyone wants to be seen.
It’s the August hotspot for the space crowd.

And that means one thing: the pre-conference newsletter avalanche has begun.

Horrible Newsletters Ahead (and the Case for a No Newsletter Club)

It starts slowly.

A ping in your inbox.
Subject line: “Counting down to SmallSat 2025!”
You think: fine, okay. Excitement is building.

Then they all come.

“Visit us at Booth 789! (We have chocolate)”
“10 reasons to meet us in Utah”
“Meet our team. Please. Please.”
“Let’s connect!”
“Schedule a meeting!”
“Schedule a meeting again!”
“We’re revolutionizing the [placeholder] and bringing the AI-powered [placeholder] to redefine the space industry. Let’s talk.”

By the end of the week, your inbox looks like a promo graveyard. Forty-seven unread messages and a rising sense of dread.

The Problem Isn’t the Newsletters. It’s the… Newsletters.

There are two universal truths in space marketing:

  • Everyone wants visibility.
  • Everyone sends a newsletter right before a conference.

The result? A spam cyclone of identical formatting, smiling team headshots, and vague announcements like “we’ll be there” and “big things coming.”

At some point, you realize: nobody’s saying anything.
They’re just emailing it.

Enter: The No Newsletter Club

We propose a radical concept: don’t send a newsletter.
Print a sticker instead. Make a button. Get a badge.

Wear it like a defiant astronaut dodging debris in LEO:
“No Newsletter Club” – Ask me about it in person.

Instead of filling inboxes, fill conversations.
Instead of push notifications, build pull curiosity.
Instead of Mailchimp fatigue, how about a handwritten note, a dumb reel, a quirky bingo card, a cryptic post? Or, the ultimate rebellion, nothing at all.

Imagine the silence.
Imagine the peace.
Imagine actually looking forward to talking to someone because they did not email you three times in July.

Let’s Be Real

If you’re launching something groundbreaking, awesome.
But if your newsletter says:

  • “We’ll be there”
  • “Meet us at Booth XYZ”
  • “Our new platform is… coming soon”
    …you don’t need a newsletter. You need a hug.

So Join Us

We are the No Newsletter Club.
We stand for inbox respect, creative marketing, and the power of a well-timed meme.

See you at the conference.
In person.
Where actual conversations happen.

We promise not to email you about it.
