ESA / About Us / Exhibitions / ESA at international events and airshows

Each year, the International Astronautical Congress (IAC) brings together space agencies, industry leaders, academic researchers, and students from every corner of the globe. The Congress rotates annually across different cities, giving countries the opportunity to host the event and showcase their contributions to the global space sector.

The event is organised by the International Astronautical Federation (IAF) and its associates, the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) and the International Institute of Space Law (IISL) in collaboration with the local organiser. The next IAC will be held in Antalya from 5-9 October 2026.

The boundary between protected and non-protected areas is very clearly visible in this satellite image. The green, densely forested and protected area of Egmont National Park on New Zealand’s North Island is clearly visible in contrast to the surrounding agricultural landscape.
