WIRED will host its first World Fair in Miami on November 4, bringing together technologies, people, and cultural forces shaping our world. The event will take place at the Sacred Space in Miami’s Wynwood district, offering attendees a chance to engage with luminaries from biotechnology, politics, artificial intelligence, and beyond.
The event will include a screening of the Musk documentary, immersive art installations from Marina Abramović, and experiences like the training software astronauts use for lunar and Martian missions. Visitors will also encounter robots, including Unitree Robotics’ G1 humanoid robot, which will roam the grounds.
"We’re excited to bring the future to life in Miami," said Ben Collins, CEO of The Onion, highlighting the event’s focus on creativity and innovation. The World Fair aims to provide a platform for dialogue and exploration of emerging technologies and cultural shifts.
The announcement follows WIRED’s efforts to reimagine the traditional World’s Fair format, emphasizing real-world applications and interactive experiences. The event is part of WIRED’s broader strategy to connect audiences with the latest advancements in science, technology, and culture.
WIRED did not specify the exact number of attendees or ticket prices, and the event’s full programming will be revealed closer to the date. The company emphasized that the fair will feature a mix of immersive art, technology demonstrations, and thought-provoking discussions.
