Moonshots LIVE 2026
Peter H. Diamandis announces a Los Angeles event built around two XPRIZE awards, applied AI, and optimistic futures.
Peter H. Diamandis frames Moonshots LIVE 2026 as a gathering for builders, creators, and optimists who see problems as solvable and then work to solve them. The event is scheduled for September 25 in downtown Los Angeles and will feature two XPRIZE competitions with a combined $5 million in prizes.
What will be featured
- Future Vision X Prize: $3.5 million for a science-fiction film depicting an optimistic and hopeful future.
- Build with Gemini X Prize: $2 million for companies using AI to solve real problems with real users and revenues.
- Five finalists from each competition will pitch live to a panel of industry figures.
- The audience will be able to vote alongside the panel.
Why it matters
The announcement connects three themes: optimism as an entrepreneurial discipline, future storytelling as a way to shape ambition, and AI as a practical company-building engine. The named guests — Ben Lamm, Astro Teller, and Palmer Luckey — place the event at the intersection of deep tech, moonshots, and advanced hardware.
Key takeaway
Moonshots LIVE 2026 is positioned not merely as a conference, but as a celebration of applied optimism: imagining better futures while backing teams that are trying to build them.
