ISS 2026: Shaping the Future of Space Through Global Collaboration
The International Space Summit (ISS 2026) will take place from June 16 (Tue) to 18 (Thu), 2026, at the Daejeon Convention Center (DCC) in Daejeon, Republic of Korea.
Now in its fourth edition, ISS 2026 is set to become the largest international space conference in Asia, driven by the synergy between CONTEC Space Group and the Daejeon Metropolitan City.
As the core of Korea’s national space cluster focused on research and talent development, Daejeon is home to major institutes such as KARI, KASI, and KBSI — making it the beating heart of Korea’s science and technology ecosystem.
This innovative infrastructure and human capital form the foundation for ISS 2026 to evolve into a world-class platform for global cooperation and exchange.
The summit will feature a wide range of programs covering the full vertical chain of the space industry, including next-generation satellites, launch vehicles, optical communication, and data utilization.
Participants can also engage in exhibitions, B2B meetings, and networking programs with leading global companies and startups.
Join over 4,000 experts from 550 organizations across 50 countries at ISS 2026 in Daejeon, and be part of the journey to shape the future of the global space industry together.

"The International Space Summit is putting South Korea on the map of space nations—or rather, placing it on the orbit. There was a ton of good program and exhibits, and it was great to meet not only the local colleagues but also old and new acquaintances from all over the world: Europe, the Americas, the Middle East, and all parts of Asia... not forgetting the evening programs. Truly worth the visit!"
