77th International Astronautical Congress stands out as a defining congress for the sector, returning to Antalya, Turkey from 5 October 2026 to 9 October 2026. This annual gathering takes place every year, with each edition building on the last. Some 6000 professionals are projected to fill the halls and sessions. As the organiser, International Astronautical Federation curates the agenda and keeps the experience running smoothly. Antalya makes an ideal backdrop, pairing world-class facilities with plenty to see and do between sessions.

The agenda brings together Space, Space Science and Space Industry, connecting expert speakers with an engaged professional audience. Live demonstrations and real-world case studies bring the topics to life. Generous breaks and social sessions leave plenty of room to network.

It is as much about the conversations in the hallways as the sessions on stage. IAC 2026 continues to set the standard for the field and remains a key date for established names and rising talent. Plan ahead and secure your spot early.
