Sept 25 · Los Angeles
A film gets made. A business gets funded. Over $3.5M awarded — live, in one night.
Ten builders and filmmakers pitch their vision of an optimistic future, live on stage. A panel of directors, founders, and investors judges them — and the audience helps decide.
A story, greenlit live.
Five filmmakers pitch a three-minute vision of an optimistic future. The grand prize isn't a check — it's a greenlight: the winner's film gets produced with Range Media Partners.

Hosted by Peter Diamandis.
Founder of XPRIZE and Singularity University, Peter Diamandis has spent three decades turning audacious goals into reality — from private spaceflight to the largest incentive prizes in history. On September 25 he takes the stage in Los Angeles to host the Gathering: one night where a film gets made, a business gets funded, and over $3.5M is awarded live.
Convened by the people building the future.
Here's what the night is really about.
Optimism isn't the belief that everything will be fine. That's naive, and it's lazy. Real optimism is the belief that problems are solvable — paired with the willingness to actually go solve them.
That combination has built every good thing we have. Every cure, every breakthrough, every leap forward started with someone who refused to accept that the problem was permanent.
September 25 is a celebration of those people. The builders and the storytellers. The ones who don't wait for the future — they make it.
Over 30 years of proving moonshots work.
XPRIZE designs and runs large-scale incentive competitions — public challenges with clear, verifiable goals that pull humanity and entire industries forward. From private spaceflight to carbon removal, prize money has turned what looked impossible into what's now obvious.
The Moonshots Podcast.
Before the prizes, before the stage, there was the show. Moonshots is the weekly conversation that built this community — every week, Peter and the Moonshots Mates track the future of technology with the people building it.
Guests have included Elon Musk, Cathie Wood, Ray Kurzweil, Michael Saylor and many more.
Staged in the heart of cinematic LA.
A full day in a restored 1920s movie palace, then an evening reception nearby. Exact venue shared with confirmed guests.
