The Chief of the Air Staff’s Global Air & Space Chiefs’ Conference, held in London every July and delivered by the Association on behalf of the Chief of the Air Staff, is the jewel in the crown in stimulating an informed and international debate on the future of air and space power. The Conference provides a strategic global focus on air and space power issues and collective security concerns faced by international partners and global allies. Each year the conference brings together a most respected group of defence influencers consisting of over 50 overseas Heads of Air and Space Arms, senior leaders from the RAF and Whole Force and UK government, and professionals from the international aerospace, defence and space technology community and academia.

Defence Space Conference is run in partnership with UK Space Command and brings together leading members of the military space community with experts from industry, the space technology sector and academia. Defence Space effectively coheres military space strategy and operations with space technology and innovation and is the UK’s primary platform for sharing and shaping future UK Space Domain strategic thinking and operational delivery.

The Air & Space Power Association delivered the Joint Capability Group Unmanned Aircraft Systems Conference for NATO in 2023 and has been appointed to deliver the event in Canada in October 2024. The overall aim of the group is to improve the operational effectiveness of UAS in NATO and coalition environments by ensuring availability, interoperability, utility and operational integrity of Unmanned Air Systems. The Conference aim is to explore UAS developments, plans and current thinking, provide thought leadership on future capability and enable collaboration and dialogue with allies and partners.

“I am a regular visitor to ASPA conferences. The debate and discussion that the sessions stimulate are without exception perfectly balanced and challenging. Speakers are of the highest quality, and the execution is always impressive.”
