The Promise Pavilion
Where the future takes the stage.
The Promise Pavilion is the centerpiece of the Military Child World Expo, a vibrant, youth-focused hub where military-connected children, teens and TCKs, IBKs, FSKs lead, create, and connect. It’s not just an exhibit hall; it’s a living space designed for young people to explore their identity, share their voices, and take part in shaping the future.
