The International Astronautical Federation made history by organizing for the first time ever the IAF Global Space Leaders Summit, gathering the largest group of space leaders represented by 60 heads of space agencies and offices from all over the world. The inaugural session of the IAF Global Space Leaders Summit took place on 15 October 2024 in Milan, Italy, during the 75th International Astronautical Congress (IAC 2024).

In recognition of the leadership demonstrated by the participants, the International Astronautical Federation presented the unique IAF Global Space Leader’s Pin specially designed for this event. This pin, featuring a moonstone, symbolizes excellence in leadership and is engraved with a unique serial number to honour the leader's esteemed role in the space sector.

Recognizing the crucial need for such a platform for collaboration, and following the success of the inaugural session, the next edition of the IAF Global Space Leaders Summit has already been announced. It will take place on 30 September 2025 in Sydney, Australia, in conjunction with the 76th International Astronautical Congress (IAC 2025).
