IAF Global Space Leaders Summit

Launched in 2024, the IAF Global Space Leaders Summit is a premier platform for high-level dialogue, uniting global space leaders. This unique meeting brings together heads of space agencies and offices to foster partnerships and shape the future of space governance and cooperation.

Bringing together the foremost leaders of the global space community, the IAF Global Space Leaders Summit stands as a premier and exclusive platform for strategic dialogue among the heads of the world’s space agencies and national space offices. This exclusive closed-door forum convenes annually the key decision-makers who are collectively shaping the future of space policy, exploration, and cooperation on a global scale.

As part of the Summit, the IAF traditionally presents to all participating heads of space agencies the IAF Space Leader’s Pin - a uniquely crafted emblem featuring a moonstone and an individual serial number. The pin serves as a rare symbol of excellence in space leadership and a lasting tribute to each leader’s contribution to the global space community.

Following the landmark 2024 Inaugural Session of the IAF Global Space Leaders Summit, where each of the participants delivered official statements to their global counterparts, the 2025 edition adopted a dynamic format of round-table discussions.

The next edition of the IAF Global Space Leaders Summit has already been announced. It will take place on 6 October 2026 in Antalya, Türkiye, in conjunction with the 77th International Astronautical Congress (IAC 2026).
