IAC 2026 - International Astronautical Congress
The 77th International Astronautical Congress (IAC 2026) will be held in Antalya, Türkiye, from 5–9 October 2026 — a landmark occasion, as it marks the first time the event is hosted in Türkiye. Renowned for its rich cultural heritage, warm hospitality, stunning Mediterranean coastline, and dynamic innovation landscape, Antalya will provide a distinctive setting for one of the world’s leading space events. This year’s IAC is organized by the Turkish Space Agency (TUA) with SAHA Istanbul Aerospace Cluster as co-host.
The theme of IAC 2026, The World Needs More Space, shapes a programme centered on visionary ideas, cutting-edge technologies, and pioneering research. At a time when space exploration and utilization are more vital than ever, the motto highlights the importance of ensuring that outer space remains a secure, accessible, and collaborative domain.
