Don’t miss out on the industry’s networking evening of the year.
Each year, the Australian Space Summit & Exhibition builds on its credentials as Australia's trusted industry event, rewarding big ideas with real opportunities for space commercialisation. The summit is returning in 2026 for its fifth year, driving over 70 frontline perspectives from influential decision makers in government, industry, and Defence. We'll be framing these local leaders against their global counterparts to better understand how Australia is defining its role in space.
Our agenda isn't speculative. It's delivered in step with Space Connect, Australia's leading daily news source for the space community, to bring editorial rigour to the conversations unfolding on stage. From weighing options for building SATCOM sovereignty through to navigating diverse opinions on AUKUS, we're not just reflecting change – we're shaping it by turning towards the hard questions.
If you're serious about deepening your connections and becoming a key player in Australia's space industry, then this is your essential in-person destination in 2026.
