Dayton Hamvention 2026 Theme Annouced

/

The theme for Hamvention 2026 is "Radio Adventure!" To the Hamvention team, this represents many aspects of the hobby, including POTA, SOTA, Field Day, and balloon launches. This is just naming a few.

For many, simply traveling to and participating in Hamvention is a radio adventure in itself. Others find adventure in chasing DX or joining an expedition. Because great adventures often lead to astonishing stories, we hope you experience a memorable radio adventure of your own at Hamvention 2026.

The exhibition centre that will be home to the large ham radio trade fair from 26th June 2026 through to the 28th June 2026 will also be welcoming amateur astronomers and technology hobbyists on June 27th. Space is being set aside in Hall B1 for a trade fair focusing on astronomy, astrophotography and related activities, giving hams and others many more worlds to explore.
