About Outer Space Security Conference
Outer Space Security Conference is a conference scheduled for 8-9 September 2026 at Palais des Nations in Geneva, Switzerland. Its scope brings space security, policy, norms of behaviour and governance into one programme, giving the event a clear primary identity rather than treating every adjacent aerospace or space subject as equivalent. Outer Space Security Conference is built around presentations, panel or session discussions and peer and sector exchange, which clarifies what the event actually offers. For policy specialists, government delegations and researchers, OS26 offers specialist subjects in the context of the organisations, systems and decisions that use them.
Outer Space Security Conference also creates useful links between space security and policy, two areas that often need to be considered together in real projects.
