77th International Astronautical Congress Set to Convene Global Space Community in 2026

The 77th International Astronautical Congress (IAC 2026) marks the 75th anniversary of the annual gathering that brings together the world’s space community. Unlike virtual meetings or fragmented regional events, the IAC will be a single, in‑person forum where scientists, engineers, policymakers, and industry leaders can share research, discuss emerging technologies, and forge collaborations. Scheduled for late August, the congress will feature keynote speeches, technical sessions, and networking opportunities that are essential for advancing international space initiatives. Attendees will have the chance to influence the next decade’s priorities in space exploration, commercialization, and regulation.
