More information is on the event’s website, which says:

Global reliance on space-based technologies has increased considerably. At the same time, threats to space assets have proliferated, whether from counterspace capabilities, the cyber domain or space debris, to name but a few. These challenges are further compounded by the growing number of actors involved in space activities, the integration of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence into space systems, and a blurring of the line between civilian and military uses of space services.

The diversity of these challenges, coupled with the ever increasing importance of outer space for humankind, means that constructive dialogue among all stakeholders will be crucial to ensuring that outer space remains peaceful and secure. UNIDIR’s 2025 Outer Space Security Conference (OS25) will serve as a timely and inclusive platform for this dialogue between a wide array of stakeholders across various sectors.

This event will offer the diplomatic community and experts from industry, the military, academia and civil society a vital opportunity to engage in dialogue on the complex challenges surrounding outer space security. The conference will bring together experts to explore technical, legal and policy solutions aimed at ensuring that outer space remains peaceful, secure and accessible to all.
