The Faire
Where the space economy meets everything else
A three-day crossroads in Houston for aerospace and the industries that will build, fund and shape what comes next.
The space economy is projected to reach $1.8 trillion by 2035. No single industry will build it alone.
Why a crossroads, not another aerospace show
Most aerospace conferences gather aerospace people. New Worlds Faire & TSAS is built differently. It brings the space community together with the industries that are about to depend on it, and the ones that will fund, insure, feed, film and regulate it.
It takes place December 1-3, 2026 at the George R. Brown Convention Center in Houston, the city that has anchored human spaceflight for generations.
For sponsors and partners, that means conversations that a single-sector event cannot produce: a biotech lead meeting a launch provider, a bank meeting a startup.

Space Cowboy Ball
The Faire's evening celebration benefits EarthLight Foundation, so the networking has a purpose beyond the deal.
