FlightSimExpo is scheduled for June 12-14, 2026 at the Saint Paul RiverCentre in Saint Paul, MN. There will be optional/add-on activities such as aviation facility tours happening on the Thursday, Friday, and Monday surrounding the event.

Please visit our Schedule page to find out about start and end times for each event day.

FlightSimExpo is working with our venue and third-party security services to apply recommended security practices throughout the event. Please wear your FlightSimExpo badge at all times when accessing event venues and expect to see a mix of security and uniformed police officers during event hours. These officers are in place to ensure the event remains accessible, safe, and welcoming to all registered attendees and partners.

Weapons will not be permitted inside the RiverCentre.

We are not expecting changes to the timing or location of FlightSimExpo 2026. The event will take place at the Saint Paul RiverCentre on June 12-14, and we are working to ensure it is safe and welcoming for everyone.

The Saint Paul RiverCentre is co-located with Grand Casino Arena, where the Minnesota Wild NHL team plays. Contacts from the venue and Visit Saint Paul have confirmed that Saint Paul has not experienced any disruption in normal activity in 2026. All Minnesota Wild games have taken place as scheduled, with 18,000+ fans in attendance each night. Conferences at the RiverCentre have been proceeding as scheduled in 2026.

Saint Paul has much the same character as Providence, RI and should feel familiar to those who attended FlightSimExpo in 2025.

Wheelchair rentals and assistance are available from the RiverCentre’s guest services team at no charge. The RiverCentre does not provide mobility scooters, but we can assist with scooter rental options. Please contact us to coordinate any accessibility requests.

Pets are not permitted in the building; only service animals are allowed at the convention center.

FlightSimExpo is a community-driven event, and future shows depend on continued participation from attendees, exhibitors, and partners. The best way to ensure a 2027 event takes place is to support the one in 2026.

You can do that in a variety of ways:

• Buy a ticket, even if you’re not attending. This support will help us build events in 2027 and beyond.
• Become an FSA Captain for $48/year. The membership includes access to watch livestreamed and recorded content from this year’s show, plus $100s of discounts on software and hardware.
• Buy an Online-Only Ticket for $15, which includes access to watch content from the show. Online-Only Tickets will go on sale in May.

Since 2018, FlightSimExpo has been held in Las Vegas, Orlando, Houston, San Diego, and Providence.
