About this event
SpaceCom | Space Congress 2027 brings the full space ecosystem into one room: civil agencies, defense stakeholders, commercial operators, technology builders, and the wider community that keeps this industry moving. Held in Orlando, this week is designed for people who want a sharper view of where space is headed and meaningful conversations with the people shaping that direction. This is not a niche meetup or a single-track conference. It is a multi-day gathering built around big-picture strategy, sector crossover, and practical connections across the conference, expo, and broader Commercial Space Week programming. About the Event SpaceCom | Space Congress 2027 centers on a simple idea: the future of space is being built through collaboration across civil, defense, and commercial domains. This edition brings those communities together in person at the Orange County Convention Center, creating a shared place to exchange ideas, compare priorities, and explore where missions and markets intersect. The event spans multiple components across the week. The conference runs January 11–14, while the expo takes place January 12–14, giving attendees a mix of strategic discussion and on-the-ground visibility into the technologies, organizations, and capabilities active in the sector. Because the event sits within Commercial Space Week, attendees can expect a broader industry atmosphere than a standalone conference typically offers. The format supports both high-level conversations and more informal networking, making it useful whether you are tracking policy and procurement, following market developments, or looking for new partners and peers. For anyone working at the edges between government, industry, and national security, that cross-sector setup is a major strength. The value is not only in hearing from leaders, but in seeing how different parts of the space landscape are approaching shared challenges and opportunities. What to Expect Expect a conference environment that combines thought leadership, industry visibility, and real networking time. The programming is built for people who want more than headlines: attendees can move between discussions about the future of the sector and the practical realities of building, funding, securing, and scaling space capabilities. Across the week, you can expect activity such as: Conference sessions focused on major developments across civil, defense, and commercial space Expo floor access where attendees can explore organizations, products, services, and emerging capabilities Networking opportunities with industry professionals, decision-makers, operators, and community members Cross-sector conversations that connect policy, mission needs, technical innovation, and commercial execution The conference dates and expo dates create a useful rhythm. Early conference programming helps frame the major themes of the week, while the overlapping expo period gives attendees a chance to continue conversations in a more practical, business-oriented setting. The audience is likely to be broad by design. You may find yourself in discussions with people from established aerospace organizations, newer commercial ventures, defense-adjacent teams, public-sector stakeholders, and professionals simply trying to better understand how the market is evolving. That mix is part of what makes the event valuable. Why Attend If your work touches space in any way, this event offers a fast, efficient way to understand the landscape. Rather than tracking developments in separate silos, you can engage the civil, defense, and commercial sides of the industry in one place and compare how each is thinking about priorities, partnerships, and next steps. This is especially useful for attendees who need context as much as contacts. The event can help you see not only who is active in the market, but how the broader ecosystem is organizing itself around demand, capability, security, and collaboration. You should attend if you want to: Meet people across the space ecosystem rather than staying inside a single lane Stay current on industry direction through live conversations and conference programming Explore partnership or business opportunities in a setting designed for in-person interaction Understand how civil, defense, and commercial priorities overlap and where they differ Build stronger industry context around the organizations, technologies, and conversations driving the sector forward There is also real value in being physically present. In-person events like this accelerate the kinds of conversations that are harder to replicate online: quick introductions, follow-up meetings, chance encounters on the expo floor, and candid discussions between sessions. For a field as relationship-driven and rapidly evolving as space, that matters. Practical Details Location: In person at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, United States.
