Our meeting spot is located in the city of Pasadena in your Earth zone of Los Angeles on March 5th-6th, 2026, which our instruments have identified as the largest spontaneous concentration of Nix packages at rest. Come to SCALE and Nix with us.

That’s a wrap on #PlanetNix 2026 ❄️ 🌍️ Huge thanks to everyone who showed up, shared ideas, asked great questions, and helped make these two days special. And of course to our speakers, Planetary Partners, and the whole community for helping bring this all together! 🎉
