Where the river meets what is next

The Colorado River landscape is central to the festival vision: desert mountains, water and a resort atmosphere around aviation and technology. The event is planned for A Casino on the Colorado River, with the specific property and event facilities still being finalized.

A resort weekend, shaped around the festival

Lodging, dining, entertainment and time beside the river can help visitors turn the event into a longer stay. Amenities such as pools, beach access, golf, spa services or boat access will depend on the selected property and its policies. They are not included or confirmed by the concept artwork.

Plan when the details are confirmed

Expected timing is Spring 2027. Exact dates, the venue, room options, parking, accessibility and travel guidance will be announced as arrangements are confirmed. There are no official room blocks or travel packages available through this page yet.

Room for discovery and connection

The proposed layout includes areas for exhibits, industry conversations, STEM activities, entertainment and controlled demonstrations. Final site arrangements and viewing access will be published with the event program.
