If you have not been paying attention to the epic saga that is FlightSimExpo 2024, a lot of convention killing hurdles were surmounted in near record time. The sudden closure of the original hotel (Tropicana Las Vegas), a rush to find a replacement with the assistance of the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority and securing a new hotel (Rio Las Vegas); a lot happened in four weeks. However, after recovering from such an unexpected "crosswind", the expo continues on.
The Flight Simulation Association (FSA) has shared the much-anticipated schedule for their June 21-23, 2024 convention in Las Vegas, along with 2024’s Activities. Register and find discounted travel options at flightsimexpo.com.
FlightSimExpo 2024 will feature developer announcements, panel discussions, and community-inspired seminars throughout the convention’s jam-packed, three-day schedule. Additionally, this year’s show will see the return of Activities: themed group events happening before, during, and after FlightSimExpo.
2024 Seminar Schedule
The event kicks off with #FSExpoFriday, a series of announcements and new product reveals on Friday, June 21. The afternoon will include more than 15 presentations from developers like BlueBird Simulations, Combat Pilot, FlyInside, Nimbus, SayIntentions . AI, SimWorks Studios, SoFly, Tobii AB, and X-Plane. The weekend seminar series will feature talks on RNAV approaches, scenery design, online networks, combat and helicopter simulation, a live PC build on stage, and more. Seminars were sourced from the community and selected by vote of FlightSimExpo attendees. Talks take place in Rio Las Vegas’ Brasilia Room and on the FSElite Stage, located in the exhibit hall.
“There’s absolutely something for everyone in our 2024 seminar schedule,” says organizer Evan Reiter. “Whether you’re new to flight sim or you’re a seasoned veteran looking for the next big release, you’ll find plenty to see and do at this year’s show.”
Activities
Before, during, and after FlightSimExpo 2024, attendees can participate in fun Activities featuring some of the many entertainment options Las Vegas has to offer. Paid and free Activities include a tour of the Las Vegas Air Traffic Control Tower, museum visits, a night out on the town, on-site workshops, and live shows at the Rio. Information about 2024’s Activities is available at flightsimexpo.com/activities; registration will open on April 14 at 12pm PT.

“Since attending FSExpo a few years ago by myself and seeing all the amazing products that were offered, we jumped at the opportunity to come back as an organization,” said Tom Flanary, Founder of the National STOL Series. “We’re excited to bring something new to the community by introducing everyone to the world of eSTOL. We want to open everyone up to the world of bush flying and the competitive nature of STOL flying, and we are excited to do that at FSExpo 2024!”
