Forging the Future of Spacepower

2026 Spacepower Conference is the Department of War’s premier space event, and its fourth year marks a deliberate departure from the traditional conference format. Bold, fast-paced, and built for action, it brings together the full Spacepower ecosystem: Guardians at every level, joint and allied warfighters, industry and investors, and the next generation of space professionals.

Spacepower is “the totality of a nation’s ability to exploit the space domain in pursuit of prosperity and security.” This conference puts that definition to work. Recent operations have made clear that space is not a supporting function, but central to national sovereignty. As programs like Golden Dome gain momentum, the urgency to act is real.

Grounded in the Space Force’s Objective Force, Future Operating Environment, and EO14369, attendees will hear directly how Spacepower is evolving: force design and budget priorities, modernized acquisition, and resilient, proliferated architectures. Key technologies on the agenda include AI, advanced data infrastructure, space nuclear systems, in-space servicing, mobility, and refueling.

The conference also focuses on what ties it all together: Allied and partner integration, a stronger industrial base, and the workforce required to sustain dominance in the space domain.

This is where the next chapter of Spacepower gets written.
