The Intergalactic Aerospace Expo 2953 is an upcoming 14-day ship exposition event to be held at Tobin Expo Center in New Babbage. The expo is an annual event that brings ships of all different manufacturers together to be displayed at several expo halls. As in previous years, the event was coupled with a free-fly event, allowing players without a Game Package to play the game for free, and also offering free rentals of ships that are on display to all players. The event will traditionally also feature several new vehicle announcements.
Throughout the event, one or several manufacturers were featured over the days. Ships and vehicles from those manufacturers were then also available in the Pledge Store, giving players the opportunity to obtain vehicles that were otherwise not available throughout the rest of the year. This event is usually the largest income source from pledges in a year, and it gives funding for the game a major boost.
Ship showdown
The event succeeds the annual Ship Showdown. During the showdown, backers were able to vote on their favorite ship in each round during the month of September. The winning ships of this year were the Corsair, followed by the Vulture, Redeemer, 600i Explorer. These ships will be highlighted at the expo on the 10th day.[1]
Stock limited ship sale
The event also features sales of stock limited ships on the Pledge Store. These ships are considered 'exclusive' and are therefore only sold in limited quantities over a small period of time. Each stock-limited ship is limited to 1 per account and will be available in several waves. Schedule will follow when announced.
Commemorative items
Owners of the ships that made it to the Ship Showdown usually get awarded a special item, and all other backers usually get a special item as well. This will be announced closer to the event.
Showcase schedule
Starting on November 17, each day one or more ship manufacturers will be featured in the expo halls for 48 hours. Switches occurred at 1600 UTC daily. Each showfloor at the Tobin Expo Center was present for overlapping 48-hour blocks.

Whitley's Guide
The event is likely to be covered by Whitley's Guide with presenter Jax McCleary, who supposedly still resides in the Pyro system after his escapade in the previous year.
