Established in 2017, the Aurora Summit brings the community together every year for a convention held in the United States. It’s the talents, generosity and enthusiasm of our community that make the Aurora Summit possible. Thank you for joining us as we celebrate the art, culture, science and photography of the Northern Lights — and Southern Lights!
A special thank you to our sponsors! Your generous support and financial contributions go a long way toward making the Aurora Summit the must-attend event that it is today.
We look forward to presenting the 8th Annual Aurora Summit in November 2025.
