Two days at ExCeL London covering satellite systems, launch services, defence space capability, Earth observation, space data and the supply chain that serves them.
Space-Comm Expo Europe is the United Kingdom's commercial space exhibition and conference, organised by Space-Comm Ltd. The 2027 edition runs on 24 and 25 February at ExCeL London, having moved from its earlier home at the Farnborough International Exhibition and Conference Centre. The organiser expects more than 6,000 attendees representing 50 space nations, including over 600 senior government officials and more than 500 defence stakeholders. Coverage spans satellite systems, launch services, space technology platforms, defence space capability, space data and analytics, Earth observation and supply chain services.
The show tracks where British space money goes. The United Kingdom has a small civil space budget relative to France or Germany, a substantial satellite manufacturing and small launch sector, and a rapidly growing military space programme through UK Space Command. Space-Comm reflects that balance: defence and government attendance is high relative to the show's size, and the conference programme gives space security and sovereign capability a prominent position alongside commercial satellite and Earth observation content.
The exhibition floor is curated rather than open, with the organiser stating that every stand is selected and delegate numbers managed. Several conference programmes run in parallel across the two days, covering commercial satellite business, defence and security, Earth observation, launch and the technology supply chain, with speakers drawn from agencies, defence and industry.
Space-Comm began at Farnborough, inside the British aerospace tradition and next to the airshow infrastructure. Moving to ExCeL London puts it in the capital, easier to reach for government, defence and international attendees and adjacent to the financial community. Anyone working from older listings should note both the venue change and that some third-party calendars still carry March dates for the 2027 edition; the organiser lists 24 and 25 February.
UK-anchored with international attendance. The organiser reports participation from 50 space nations, but the exhibitor base and buying audience are predominantly British.
Bremen is several times larger and is the continental supply chain fair. Space-Comm is the UK national show, smaller, more defence-weighted and easier to work in two days.
No. The 2027 edition is at ExCeL London. Listings citing the Farnborough International Exhibition and Conference Centre refer to earlier editions.
Space-Comm Ltd runs the expo and its associated programme, working with UK space clusters, the agency and defence stakeholders on the conference content.
The UK space sector's own commercial show, now in London and openly built around defence space, which is where the British budget has actually gone.
The organiser states that registration opens officially in December ahead of the February event, with early interest registration available before that. Delegate numbers are managed and stands are selected rather than sold openly, so both visitor and exhibitor participation should be arranged early. Pricing was not published at the verification date.
