If you’ve never attended a PIA Symposium, it’s one of the few places where nearly every corner of the skydiving industry comes together under one roof.
From February 8–11, 2027, manufacturers, riggers, DZ operators, athletes and fun jumpers will gather in Cincinnati, Ohio, for four days of networking, education and the latest developments in skydiving technology. The symposium will be held at the newly renovated First Financial Center (formerly the Duke Energy Convention Center) in downtown Cincinnati.
For many attendees, the exhibit hall is the biggest draw to the symposium. It’s an opportunity to see new equipment up close, meet the people behind the products, ask questions directly to manufacturers and get a first look at the innovations shaping the future of the sport. The exhibit hall is a great blend of new friends, old friends and some of the best networking in the sport.
But the PIA Symposium is more than just that.
Beyond the exhibit hall, the PIA Symposium is packed with presentations, workshops and panel discussions from industry leaders. Gear manufacturers, riggers, dropzone owners, athletes, engineers and other experts cover topics ranging from safety and equipment to business, innovation and what’s next for the sport. It’s a unique opportunity to learn from the people helping shape the future of skydiving.
