The International Astronautical Congress 2018 will be held in Bremen, Germany, from 1 to 5 October 2018.

The International Astronautical Congress (IAC) consists of a scientific conference program and a space exhibition. It is the one time of the year opportunity when about 4,000 space actors from all over the world come together.

Global, multidisciplinary, and covering all space sectors and topics, it offers everyone the latest space information and above all new contacts and potential partnerships.

Each year the IAC changes country, theme, and local organizer, enabling everyone to learn more about and be part of the world space network. The IAC 2018 will be hosted in Bremen - Germany's main space city and one of Europe's major space centers.

This year theme "IAC 2018 - involving everyone" wants to share the vision of a more diverse space sector. The extensive outreach program will place special emphasis on the new generation of space experts, the expansion of equal opportunities, the integration of new countries and start-up companies into the global space network, as well as increasing the public participation.

Planetek Italia and Planetek Hellas will join the event to talk about the latest research activities and operational solutions developed in this field. Planetek staff is pleased to meet visitors at booth D24, Hall 5.
