FlightSimExpo announces 2024 event schedule and opens travel bookings

FlightSimExpo, North America’s largest flight simulation convention, has unveiled its much-anticipated schedule for the 2024 event. As revealed in September, the convention, hosted by the Flight Simulation Association (FSA), will take place from June 21-23, 2024, at the Tropicana Las Vegas. This year’s event promises another enriching experience for flight simulation enthusiasts, including product reveals, seminars, and hands-on exhibits.

Exciting Schedule and Speaker Opportunities

The 2024 schedule begins on Friday, June 21, with a series of seminars and announcements from leading figures in the simulation industry. A welcome reception will follow on Friday evening, offering attendees an opportunity to socialize and network. The following days will feature a 40,000+ square foot exhibit hall, showcasing the latest in flight simulation hardware and software. Notably, the VR Experience Center will make a return, allowing attendees to immerse themselves in various flight simulator setups using virtual reality technology.

FSA is extending an invitation to community members, content creators, and developers to apply to host seminars or panel discussions. These seminars will be shaped by a community survey scheduled for early 2024, ensuring that the content resonates with the attendees’ interests.
