Flight simulation enthusiasts, student pilots, and aviation professionals will gather in St. Paul, Minnesota, in June for FlightSimExpo 2026, a three-day convention showcasing how flight simulation can support pilot training, proficiency, and aviation education.
The event—which is in its seventh year and runs June 12 to 14 at the Saint Paul RiverCentre—is expected to draw more than 3,000 attendees and 70 exhibitors.
New this year, the exhibit hall will feature two competition areas. National STOL will host a competition that lets attendees go head-to-head against other sim competitors and real-world pilots experienced in short takeoff and landing competition. The second, a Combat Arena, will offer air combat competitions, team operations, and airshow-style performances.
