IAAPA Meetup: National Geographic Museum of Exploration

Join fellow attractions professionals for an exclusive look at National Geographic Museum of Exploration, the brand-new, 100,000-square-foot destination at National Geographic’s global headquarters in Washington, D.C. Opened in June 2026 as part of a $300 million-plus campus transformation, the museum brings more than a century of discovery to life through immersive exhibits, interactive storytelling, and iconic photography. It’s a rare chance to connect with peers across the industry while getting an inside look at how one of the world’s most recognized storytelling brands designs for curiosity and guest engagement. Additional event details will be announced as they become available.

This IAAPA Meetup is held in conjunction with the IAAPA Public Affairs Conference, bringing together members of the attractions community for an evening of connection in the nation’s capital.
