What's New in 2027

Bilingual & Hemispheric Programming
As the gateway to Latin America, Miami puts XPONENTIAL closer to a broader swath of the hemisphere than ever before. This year's program will reflect that by bringing in a curated slate of Spanish-language and bilingual sessions, opening the show floor to a wider community of operators, regulators, and innovators across the Americas. It's a deliberate step toward making XPONENTIAL the true hemispheric hub for uncrewed systems and robotics.

Tabletop & Simulated Disruption Exercises
Some of the toughest challenges in uncrewed systems aren't solved by talking about them — they're solved by working through them. New this year, XPONENTIAL introduces interactive tabletop exercises that put attendees inside a simulated incident, from coordinated response scenarios to real-time decision-making under pressure. It's hands-on problem-solving in place of purely a panel discussion.

Expanded End-User Workshops
XPONENTIAL's End-User Workshops bring together operators, regulators, and technology developers to tackle real-world adoption challenges across key sectors including specialty agriculture, security and public safety, and critical infrastructure to construction, mapping, and surveying. New for 2027, that lineup is set to expand to reflect Miami's own strengths, with plans to add workshop options in marine, port, and waterfront operations and disaster readiness, storm response, and damage assessment. Each interactive session pairs expert insight and case studies with hands-on discussion aimed at one goal: helping end users move from innovation to operational deployment.

Miami-Area Site Visit Opportunities (VIP Passholders Only)
Miami's uncrewed ecosystem extends well beyond the convention center walls, and XPONENTIAL is exploring ways to bring select VIP passholders closer to it. While specific site visits are still being finalized, the region's strengths point to compelling possibilities — from port and maritime autonomy operations to advanced air mobility infrastructure. More details will be announced as these opportunities are confirmed.
