Av-Con 2026: Cleared for Takeoff!

Written By Noel Philips

Welcome to the most exciting event you never knew you needed. We’re taxiing toward something truly special. AV-Con 2026 is where fans and creators finally meet face-to-face, swap stories, and celebrate the passion that connects us all — flight!

Mark your calendars, polish those camera lenses, and get ready for take-off at the iconic Delta Flight Museum.

Meet the Hangar Six: Our Founding Flight Crew

Before AV-Con ever left the runway, six creators believed in the dream. They helped power it up, build the buzz, and get us airborne — our Hangar Six. But they’re not flying solo. Joining them is a brilliant mix of creators — from fresh new channels to familiar faces — all here to share their passion and connect with fans. At AV-Con, everyone’s part of the crew.

No matter your size or story, if you love aviation, you belong on this flight.
