The 2026 Palm Springs Winter Warm-Up presented by American Airlines

February 5-8, 2026

Registration open

The Winter Warm-Up presented by American Airlines is the NGPA’s flagship West Coast event, which is held at the beginning of the year and is by far our largest yearly gathering. Warm weather, a uniquely Southwest landscape, and miles of blue skies make Palm Springs, CA the perfect spot for a mid-winter fly-in.
