    Horizon Convention Center 401 S High St, Muncie, IN, United States

    AKA’s 2026 Annual Convention will be held in Muncie, Indiana, the site of AKA’s very successful 1999 convention. Sleeping accommodations are available at the Courtyard by Marriott, less than a block walk from the Horizon Convention Center in downtown Muncie. Banquets, meetings, indoor flying, and indoor display space are available at the Convention Center. Our flying fields are less than a 10-minute drive away at the Association of Model Aeronautics who is once again offering AKA use of their 1,000-acre flying fields. We’re expecting a really wonderful event. Want to look at the preliminary workshop list? Click here.
