The countdown is on for the 77th International Astronautical Congress (IAC 2026), taking place in Antalya, Türkiye, from 5–9 October 2026.
For the first time in its history, the world's largest space event will be hosted in Türkiye, bringing together the global space community on the Mediterranean coast.
Hosted by the Turkish Space Agency (TUA) and co-hosted by the SAHA Istanbul Aerospace Cluster, this annual gathering is organised by the International Aeronautical Federation with rotating hosts each year. Previously, the premier event was held in cities across the world, including Sydney, Milan and Baku.
This year's congress will centre on the theme "The World Needs More Space". It will serve as a platform to highlight the importance of space as a shared resource that serves as the basis for international cooperation across all nations.
The programme will explore the future of space exploration, innovation, security and sustainability, while encouraging greater international collaboration to help ensure space remains a peaceful and accessible frontier for all.
With thousands of experts, researchers, industry leaders and policymakers expected to attend, IAC 2026 is set to be a landmark event that will help shape the next chapter of the global space sector.
