The International Astronautical Congress (IAC) is the largest space-related conference worldwide and selects an average of 1000 scientific papers every year. The IAC is organized by the International Astronautical Federation (IAF), the International Academy of Astronautics (IAA), and the International Institute of Space Law (IISL).

In 2013, the IAC will be held in Beijing, China, September 23-27. The IAC has posted a “Call for Abstracts,” with a submission deadline of February 21, 2013.
