Celebrating its 25th anniversary with official support from the Italian Air Force, the International Fighter Conference (IFC) remains the world’s leading event for combat aviation leaders.
In 2025, IFC moves to a new location in Rome, Italy, bringing together over 450 senior military and industry figures from across the globe to discuss the future of airpower in an increasingly contested battlespace.
As nations develop next-generation combat air systems and contracts begin to materialize, interoperability across platforms and domains is becoming critical to securing air superiority. From NGAD and FCAS to GCAP and F/A-XX, the conversation will focus on the technologies and operational environments shaping the future fighter landscape. The role of industry is also evolving, as nations seek more independent and resilient defense ecosystems.
With unmatched access to air force commanders, policymakers, and aerospace innovators, IFC remains the only global forum offering real-time insights into the shifting nature of air warfare and capability development.
