Grinnelli Designs Presents the FSExpo 2026 Combat Arena

This new high-energy, interactive experience allows attendees to compete, learn, and connect through aviation-inspired contests and events that capture the excitement of flight and the spirit of discovery. The Combat Arena will be available to all FlightSimExpo attendees.

“In partnership with industry leaders who share our passion for aviation and immersive simulation, we’re planning a dynamic lineup of events designed to engage and excite attendees throughout the weekend,” said Joe Grinnelli, CEO of Grinnelli Designs. “Highlights include a head-to-head air combat competition, team operations, airshow-style performances, and more—with great prizes available to be won.”

Airline, Hotel, and Car Rental Discounts

FlightSimExpo attendees save on hotels and airfare. This year’s hotel rates start at just $149/night, plus local taxes. Airfare deals are available from Delta, United, Southwest, and codeshare partners. Make your travel plans early and take advantage of great rates at flightsimexpo.com/travel.

“If you liked the vibe in Providence, you’ll love this year’s venue,” says Co-Founder Evan Reiter, who conducted the initial site inspection in February 2025 and will be returning for a pre-show visit this April. “Located on the banks of the Mississippi River, Saint Paul has a walkable, vibrant, and friendly downtown with great restaurants and easy access to natural places. Since Minnesota Wild games are played at the same complex as our venue, we’re looking forward to an incredible atmosphere—especially if the team makes it to the NHL playoffs again this year.”

Flight Sim Developers: Sponsor and Exhibit at FlightSimExpo 2026

“We’ve made it super easy for flight sim devs of all sizes to participate,” says Evan. “The number one reason attendees come to the event is to meet the people behind the projects.
