Space Tech Expo USA is thrilled to announce its relocation to the Anaheim Convention Center, California, for the 14th edition, taking place June 2 – 4, 2026. This move marks a significant milestone in the event’s history, as it expands into a bigger venue to elevate its role as a hub for the space sector.
Why Anaheim? Steeped in history and renowned for hosting iconic events, Anaheim offers a vibrant mix of business and leisure opportunities. It hosts a specialized space industry ecosystem featuring manufacturers of high-precision components, advanced materials testing, and satellite electronics to support the major Southern California aerospace primes, and is a hub for specialized suppliers, being closely linked to nearby aerospace OEMs such as Rocket Lab, Impulse Space, Boeing, Relativity Space, and Vast.
The Anaheim Convention Center, the largest venue on the West Coast, provides the perfect launchpad for Space Tech Expo USA to grow in size and scope, enabling attendees to forge deeper connections and explore groundbreaking advancements in space technology.
As for what to expect? “We’re looking forward to welcoming over 350 exhibitors, featuring global companies as well as local Anaheim businesses such as Bisco Industries, Cobra Scientific, and Serra Laser, says Gordon McHattie, Event Director at Space Tech Expo. “This will be our largest event yet, showcasing a variety of solutions from electronic components, design services, and mechanical components, to security, optics, test & measurement, interconnect, and software. So join us to engage with the industry and dive straight into finding your next solution!”
Hear from over 70 expert speakers as they discuss the latest challenges and innovations at the Industry Conference and the Technology Conference. New for this year is the Skills Lab, which will be packed with workshops and masterclasses designed to inspire, connect, and empower attendees through hands-on learning opportunities.
And in a new partnership, Space Tech Expo USA is partnering with Aviation Week, a leader in aerospace multimedia information services and tradeshow and conference production, engaging an extensive community of top-tier OEM and system integration professionals. Together, they’re expanding the event’s reach, introducing new features (including the Space Tech Challenge Awards), and continuing to bring unparalleled expertise to the floor.
From satellite technology and launch services, to engineering solutions and subsystems, the event will bring together industry leaders, decision-makers, and innovators to solve current challenges and help shape the future of space exploration.
