The IAC is the one place and time of the year where all global space actors come together. The event attracts more than 3,000 participants each year. 

 

Covering all space sectors and topics, it offers attendees the unique opportunity to learn about the latest space developments in academia, industry and government, to network with a global and high-profile community, to renew old contacts and to build new relationships.

 

Each year the IAC is hosted in a different country and city, enabling all to learn more about, and be a part of, the world space scene.

 

 

The structure behind it

 

Technical sessions – presenting scientific and technological breakthroughs, these provide the latest advances in space science, research, technology, exploration, regulation and education

 

Plenary program – the latest trends in space research, technology and exploration presented by the people who drive them, these include expert discussion panels, highlight lectures on specific topics and breaking news on the latest space developments

 

Associated events – organised to complement the content of the IAC, they address niche topics or the needs of dedicated stakeholders within the space community

 

Exhibit Hall – not only a place for organizations to show off their latest technologies, equipment, instruments and artifacts, but also a place to grab a bite to eat, hold a meeting, attend a special lecture or event, participate in the student program ... and so much more
