Special Space Sustainability Forum episode
12 – 14 October 2026
Two landmark global space events. One bold vision.
The 2026 Global Space Connectivity & Sustainability Events, co-organized by the ITU and CST Saudi Arabia, combines 2 established events – Connecting the World from the Skies and the Space Sustainability Forum; into a a flagship three-day gathering under one theme: ‘Connected Earth, Sustainable Space’.
Space is transforming fast, and connectivity and sustainability can no longer be treated apart. Building on the momentum of both events, this expanded 2026 platform unites two communities around a single, shared ambition: keeping space sustainable while connecting every corner of the planet.
Over three days, senior leaders from governments, international organizations, industry and research come together through high-level keynotes, panel discussions, interactive sessions and live technology demonstrations. The goal is simple but pressing – to turn discussion into action, charting practical pathways toward sustainable space operations and inclusive global connectivity.
