Space and Satellites USA 2026

After 170 years of trusted intelligence, Reuters Events is bringing its rigor to the leaders defining the next era of space innovation. Hosted on November 9-10 in D.C. just after the 2026 Midterm Elections, Space and Satellites USA 2026 will be at the focal point for defining 2027 budgets and policy shifts. By capping attendance at 250 senior leaders from industry, government leads, commercial customers, and investors, we've removed the trade show noise to focus on high-value strategy. This is an interactive working environment where the standard lecture hall is replaced by hyper-engaging debates, Q and As and Chatham House roundtables. It is the final opportunity of the year for primes, start-ups, and officials to hash out the real-world hurdles of orbital scale, cybersecurity, and defense acquisition together.
 
We've replaced vast expo halls with action-focused formats designed to immediately impact your strategy:
- Emerging Technologies – commercialize breakthrough innovations by transitioning from experimental science to scalable microgravity production.
- Defense, Policy, Acquisition – realign strategic roadmaps by navigating the shifting landscape of national security requirements and government budgets.
- Security and Resilience – secure the multi-orbit network by building resilient code and autonomous logic that protects data flow in a software-first era.
- Orbital Industry – establish commercial frameworks for heavy orbital manufacturing and logistics to de-risk private investment and fuel space-based economies.
 
If you are building, buying, or funding the critical infrastructure that defines the next frontier, this is where you move from strategy to market dominance.
