About the Pavilion Zones
Inside The "Promise of the Six Pavilion"
The Promise of the Six Pavilion at the Military Child World Expo 2026 is a 6,000 sq. ft. immersive space designed to celebrate, empower, and elevate military-connected youth and their voices. This signature area of the Expo is more than a showcase it’s a living ecosystem of belonging, resilience, creativity, and leadership.
​
At the heart of the Pavilion are seven purpose-driven zones, each crafted to reflect one of the core promises we make to the next generation: to honor their journey, to hear their voice, and to stand with them in shaping a stronger future.
​
Together, these zones create a youth-centered experience that blends storytelling, leadership, wellness, and connection in one unforgettable summit environment:
