Returning to Munich, Germany, in 2026, the International Fighter Conference will be held 3-5 November at Eisbach Studios, once again bringing together more than 600 senior leaders, air chiefs, programme directors, and industry innovators who are shaping the future of combat airpower in an increasingly contested battlespace.
The 2026 IFC agenda will address a range of topics critical to the current issues faced by fighter pilots and explore what is possible for the future operating environment.
With several full-scale Collaborative Combat Aircraft (CCA) on display in the interactive exhibition and a senior audience of operators, engineers, and acquisition leaders, the conference will examine how air forces and industry are collaborating on:
- Manned-unmanned teaming
- Combat cloud architectures
- AI-enabled decision support
- The practical challenges of integrating new capabilities into legacy fleets
Dedicated tracks on operational readiness and advanced engineering will also explore developments in advanced weapons, Electronic Warfare (EW), avionics, Command and Control (C2), and mission systems, alongside the sustainment and training models required to field next-generation airpower at scale.
