LarioSpace 2026: New Dates, Stronger International Perspective

LarioSpace is looking ahead and broadening its horizons, opening up to new audiences and new forms of dialogue. Following its initial announcement as a spring event, the fourth edition of the Space Economy unique gathering will now take place in late September 2026, from 27 September to 1 October, set against the unique backdrop of Lake Como.

This is not merely a change of dates, but the natural evolution of a project in constant growth. The new timing reflects a clear objective: to expand international participation and further strengthen the dialogue between industry, institutions and research, cornerstones that have defined LarioSpace since its very first edition.

Organised by Involve Space and hosted at Telespazio’s Centro Spaziale del Lario (a Leonardo Group company), LarioSpace confirms its position as a boutique event within the Space Economy: carefully curated, and designed to foster meaningful conversations and high-value connections among leading players in the sector.

The 2026 format unfolds over five days, structured to engage distinct yet complementary audiences. It opens with a public-facing day in the centre of Como, dedicated to science communication and outreach, before moving into the core conference sessions, featuring international keynotes, thematic panels and targeted networking opportunities, on day two and day three. The final two days will be devoted to industry meetings, including visits to companies within Northern Italy’s aerospace cluster and closed working sessions.

A structure that reflects a broader ambition: more than just an event, an ecosystem where collaborations take shape and new trajectories for the space economy are defined.

Building on the strong momentum of the previous edition — over 700 professionals and more than 60 international speakers — LarioSpace 2026 will welcome new sponsors, partners, speakers and exhibitors, continuing to bridge technological innovation with tangible impact.
