Flight Simulation Association today published travel details and discounts for FlightSimExpo 2025, taking place June 27-29, 2025 at the Rhode Island Convention Center in Providence, RI. FlightSimExpo is one of the world’s largest dedicated flight simulation events and has welcomed more than 7,500 attendees to shows in Las Vegas, Orlando, San Diego, and Houston since 2018. The convention features developers, non-profits, virtual airlines, live ATC, seminars, product announcements, off-site activities and tours, and much more. Deals on flights and hotels are available now at flightsimexpo.com. Attendee Registration opens December 14.
2025 Schedule
The 2025 event kicks off with FSExpoFriday, an afternoon of product updates and announcements from flight simulation’s biggest developers. Later that evening, all attendees are invited to a welcome reception, while FSA Captains have the option to attend the FlightSimExpo Banquet, featuring dinner, trivia, and prizes. On Saturday and Sunday, attendees get access to an 85,000+ square foot exhibit hall with hands-on demos of flight and simulation hardware and software. Speaker stages will feature how-to seminars and educational discussions sourced from the community. On the Thursday, Friday, and Monday surrounding FlightSimExpo, attendees will have access to Activities: add-on experiences like trips to Newport, air traffic control facility tours, escape rooms, planespotting trips, and more.
In Houston and Las Vegas, attendees enjoyed access to air traffic control towers, behind the scenes airport tours, aerial dogfights, museum visits, and more. We’re working on these options now and look forward to providing more details on aviation-themed and destination-focused Activities in early 2025 - FSA Co-Founder Phil Coyle.
