Wednesday–Friday, May 20–22
CityWalk in Los Angeles
At the Hilton Universal Hotel and AMC IMAX Theater!
The GSCA Board finalized this plan after extensive listening sessions and feedback from members. The May timeframe offers optimal affordability, travel flexibility, and alignment with both theater schedules and production timelines. Our expectation is that this one major event will be a powerful, inclusive gathering for the entire GSCA community.
Important Note:
This is a one-time scheduling and location decision for 2026 — it does not indicate a permanent shift to May or Los Angeles for future events, and it certainly does not signal the end of dome content. We’re making the most strategic choice for this transition year to support success, inclusivity, and flexibility. These dates also help us avoid an 18-month gap between conferences as we move to a single annual event format.
🌟 Even More Ways to Stay Engaged in 2026
In addition to our main conference in May, we’re developing several exciting new opportunities for member engagement:
- A year-round members-only webinar series
- A fall GSCA leadership event focused on immersive museum experiences
- New ways to connect at key industry gatherings
As we transition to one major event per year, your continued support is more vital than ever. This shift represents a significant change in the association’s financial model — and your participation as an active member directly helps sustain the momentum we’ve built together.
GSCA 2026 will be a new, more focused experience, with more compelling content and value than ever before.
More details — including hotel and venue information — will be shared soon.
