ADS has partnered with Hub Exhibitions to enhance the Space-Comm Expo in London, which will be rebranded to reflect this collaboration. The partnership aims to unite key voices from industry and government, co-host significant events, and strengthen the UK’s role in the global space sector while focusing on maximising opportunities for participants.
Following consultations with stakeholders, ADS has partnered with Hub Exhibitions Ltd to enhance the Space-Comm Expo in London, which will now be named Space-Comm Expo London. This rebranding reflects their joint vision and the exhibition’s broader scope.
As part of the partnership, ADS will co-host the UK Government Hub and Defence & Space Zone. This collaboration will bring together key voices from industry, government, and defence to foster discussions and innovations critical to the future of the space sector.
Kevin Craven, CEO of ADS, will join the Board of Hub Exhibitions to ensure strategic alignment with industry needs. This partnership follows Lunar Ridge Ventures’ investment in Hub Exhibitions, which supports the broader space ecosystem and recognises the value of this collaboration.
Kevin Craven stated that ADS is excited about this partnership, emphasising the UK’s space sector as a hub of entrepreneurship and innovation. He looks forward to fostering connections at the Space-Comm Expo London 2026, highlighting the event as beneficial for the industry.
Christie Day, Managing Director of Hub Exhibitions, expressed enthusiasm for partnering with ADS to create a single, unified event in London. This collaboration aims to expand the UK’s space economy significantly.
The UK Space Agency supports the move towards a unified event, recognising the importance of collaboration in the space sector. Doug Liddle, Chair of UKspace, stressed that this partnership will drive critical conversations and deliver positive outcomes for the industry.
Both organizations are committed to creating a world-class experience that showcases the UK’s global role in space. As a result, the Farnborough International Space Show will not run again, allowing the focus to shift entirely to the expanded Space-Comm Expo London.
The partnership between ADS and Hub Exhibitions Ltd will foster collaboration within the UK space sector, rebranding the Space-Comm Expo in London. This initiative aims to unite influential voices to advance discussions and innovations, with strong backing from key industry stakeholders. The withdrawal of the Farnborough International Space Show underscores a strategic focus on maximising the potential of the new Space-Comm Expo London.
