I want to briefly outline the role, as I see it, of the 2nd Biennial Space Elevator Workshop in the Space Elevator community.

The 1st Annual International Space Elevator Conference was held in Seattle, WA in 2002 and was hosted by Bradley Edwards through his company at the time, HighLift Systems. The 2nd Annual International Space Elevator Conference was hosted by me through the Los Alamos National Laboratory in 2003 and was held in Santa Fe, NM. The 3rd Annual International Space Elevator Conference was held in Washington, DC in 2004 and sponsored by Bradley Edwards with his employer at the time, the Institute for Scientific Research.

Many changes beset the drivers behind these conferences in 2004 and so there was no 4th conference. We anticipate resurrecting the series in the near future as soon as our current concerns are successful. No one else emerged to create another conference until 2005.
