UP.Summit
About this Event
See the future take flight, where land, air, sea, and space come together.
The UP.Summit site sets up right alongside the Launch and Landing Facility, the 15,000-foot runway where the Space Shuttle came home. The hangar and ramp are lined with the technologies of the future.
Flying cars, Spacecraft, Humanoid robots, Autonomous boats, self-driving vehicles, drones, and the next-generation energy and propulsion driving all of it, out in the open and close enough to reach out and touch.
This is the ground where UP.Summit gathers the entrepreneurs and innovators building the future of how the world moves. The actual hardware here, in front of you. No screens. No someday.
What you'll see:
- Flying cars and next-generation aircraft, up close
- Spacecraft and the propulsion pushing past what's possible
- Humanoid robots and autonomous machines in action
- Self-driving vehicles, drones, and autonomous boats
- The energy powering it all, from advanced batteries to fusion
Experience the UP.Summit and see the future take flight, where land, air, sea, and space all come together.
