Fun in the Sun VEX IQ Signature Event Returns January 2027!

Get ready — Fun in the Sun is back in January 2027, and we’re bringing even more excitement, competition, and unforgettable experiences to the Hyatt Regency Orlando!

Following the incredible success of our previous event — which welcomed 140 elite teams from around the world and over 1,000 attendees — we are thrilled to announce the next chapter of this premier VEX IQ Signature Event, powered by FPL.

The 2027 event will feature an exciting new format, with competitions split into two divisions:
Elementary School Division: January 1–2, 2027
Middle School Division: January 3–4, 2027

This expanded format allows more teams to compete, collaborate, and shine on a world-class stage while giving families the opportunity to fully enjoy everything Orlando has to offer.
Make it more than just a competition — make it a New Year’s destination experience. Take advantage of exclusive hotel rates at the Hyatt Regency Orlando and enjoy being just minutes away from Universal Orlando, Walt Disney World, and SeaWorld.

Whether you're competing, coaching, or cheering from the stands, there’s no better way to ring in the New Year than at Fun in the Sun 2027.

We can’t wait to welcome teams, families, and fans back for another unforgettable event!
