The biennial Pacific Air Chiefs Symposium is set for May 12–15, 2026, at Headquarters Pacific Air Forces on Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii.
Air chiefs and senior leaders from more than 20 countries are expected to take part, focusing on improving the integration of air power and strengthening partnerships in support of a free and open Indo-Pacific.
“PACS26 is a tremendous opportunity to collectively align our efforts and strengthen the cooperation and interoperability with our allies and partners,” said U.S. Air Force Gen. Kevin Schneider, Pacific Air Forces commander. “The security challenges in the Indo-Pacific are complex, and it is essential that we work together to enhance regional security and stability.”
The agenda includes discussions, panels, and both bilateral and multilateral engagements addressing shared challenges, regional security, and ways to apply global lessons collectively to bolster stability across the region.
