About IAC - International Astronautical Congress

Every year the IAF together with the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) and the International Institute of Space Law (IISL), holds the International Astronautical Congress (IAC).

RECORD OF ATTENDANCE

More than 1800 scientists and 250 accompanying persons registered already! They come from more than 50 different countries all over the world.

The IAC is the most important annual interdisiplinary meeting worldwide with 3000 participants from over 70 countries including representatives from the space industry, space agencies, policy makers, students, young professionals, researchers and academicians. It provides a crossroad uniting all the world's space players in all space related activities.

The IAC 2012 exhibition will be located in 3 of the pavilions of the Mostra d'Oltremare, the largest exhibition area in the Campania region and the second in southern Italy. The multi-functional complex (73,000 sqm) including an exhibition area and a natural park is situated in the western part of Naples.

This is where attendees will pass on their way to sessions and spend their time during coffee and lunch breaks. The opportunities to meet your partners and clients and display your services have never been better.

Sponsors are offered attractive locations in the exhibition area as well as outstanding exposure at well-attended congress events or on printed and promotional material.

Confirmed exhibitors include ESA, ASI, Thales Alenia Space, JAXA, FinMeccanica and CIRA.

Make the most of the sponsorship opportunities by contacting the Congress Secretariat to discuss the best option for you and any special requirements you might have.

ASI and IAF look forward to welcoming you to Naples for a thought-provoking and innovative exchange of ideas and concepts.
