About this event

SpaceCom | Space Congress 2026 brings together the people shaping what’s next in commercial space at one of the central gatherings of Commercial Space Week. If your work sits anywhere near space infrastructure, mobility, operations, partnerships, or the broader ecosystem that turns ambitious missions into real-world progress, this is the room to be in. As the flagship event of Commercial Space Week, and co-located with the Space Mobility Conference & Expo and the GSA Spaceport Summit, this is more than a single conference experience. It is a concentrated meeting point for leaders, operators, builders, and decision-makers who want to understand where the industry is headed and who they need to know to move with it. About the Event SpaceCom | Space Congress 2026 is an in-person industry event designed to connect the commercial space community around the ideas, systems, and relationships driving the sector forward. The event sits at the center of a broader week of activity, giving attendees access to a wider orbit of conversations across commercial space, space mobility, and spaceport development. Because it is co-located with the Space Mobility Conference & Expo and the GSA Spaceport Summit, the experience is especially valuable for people working across adjacent parts of the industry. You are not just attending one standalone meetup or expo floor; you are stepping into an environment where multiple parts of the space economy intersect in real time. Expect a professional, high-signal setting built for both structured programming and practical networking. Whether you come to learn, meet partners, explore market direction, or stay close to the latest commercial developments, the event is positioned to support all of those goals. For attendees who care about momentum, this format matters. Co-location creates a broader cross-section of conversations than a narrowly focused conference can offer, making it easier to connect strategic themes with the people and organizations working on them. What to Expect The event is built around the core elements professionals look for in a strong industry gathering: focused programming, exposure to adjacent conversations, and time to meet the people behind the work. While exact sessions may vary, attendees should expect a mix of conference content, expo engagement, and networking opportunities tied to the broader Commercial Space Week experience. You can expect the experience to include: Industry-focused sessions exploring current priorities, market direction, and developments across commercial space Cross-sector conversations made possible by co-location with the Space Mobility Conference & Expo and the GSA Spaceport Summit Networking opportunities with professionals from across the space ecosystem, from operators and builders to strategic partners and community leaders Expo and event-floor engagement where ideas, capabilities, and partnerships can move from concept to conversation One of the strengths of this event is the range of perspectives likely to be in the room. The co-located structure means attendees are more likely to encounter people working on related challenges from different angles, which often leads to more grounded conversations about implementation, collaboration, and opportunity. This is also a strong setting for relationship-building. The best event experiences often come from the moments between formal sessions, and SpaceCom | Space Congress 2026 is positioned to create plenty of those moments: introductions, follow-up conversations, and the kind of in-person connection that helps turn a name or company into a future collaborator. Why Attend If you work in or around space, this event offers a practical way to stay current without limiting yourself to a single narrow track. The combination of flagship programming and co-located events means you can get a broader view of the ecosystem while still staying connected to your specific area of focus. This matters because the commercial space landscape does not move in silos. Mobility, infrastructure, operations, community-building, and long-term growth are deeply linked, and the people making progress in one area often need strong relationships in another. SpaceCom | Space Congress 2026 creates a setting where those connections are easier to make. Attendees may find value in the event if they want to: Understand where the commercial space sector is heading Meet peers, partners, and potential collaborators in person Get closer to conversations happening across mobility and spaceport development Build visibility within the broader space community Use Commercial Space Week as a high-efficiency moment for learning and networking For some people, the biggest takeaway will be insight: a clearer picture of market direction, emerging priorities, and the conversations shaping the near future. For others, it will be access: the ability to meet people they have been meaning to connect with, strengthen existing relationships, or discover unexpected overlap between their work and someone else’s. Practical Details Location: In person at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, United States. The in-person format is a major part of the value here. Large-format industry events work best when attendees can move between sessions, conversations, and shared spaces with ease, and a convention-center setting supports exactly that kind of experience. Date and time: Wednesday, January 28 at 12:00 AM UTC. If you are planning to attend, it is worth approaching this as part of the larger Commercial Space Week calendar rather than as a one-hour commitment. Because the event is co-located with the Space Mobility Conference & Expo and the GSA Spaceport Summit, attendees may want to plan for additional time on site to make the most of the broader programming and networking opportunities. A few helpful ways to prepare: Review your priorities ahead of time so you know which conversations matter most Leave room in your schedule for networking instead of planning only around formal sessions Come ready to talk across disciplines, not just within your immediate niche Treat the event as a relationship-building opportunity, not only an information-gathering one If your goal is to stay close to the commercial space conversation and meet the people helping define its next phase, SpaceCom | Space Congress 2026 offers a strong reason to be in Orlando.
