“APEC is the Woodstock of gravity-modification research. I'd just like to give a big 'Bravo' to all the contributors and hosts that helped make this remarkable event possible.”
- Ron Kita, Chiralex
“Gravity-modification is a small, tight-knit community where everybody knows everybody - but they're never all together at the same time. APEC is making that a reality.”
- Tim Ventura, American Antigravity
“APEC is able to round up the best guests covering topics most relevant to the subject of advanced propulsion. They've created a fascinating, illuminating, and timely conference.”
- Gary Stephenson, Seculine Consulting
“APEC is a unique space for innovators to share important ideas related to space travel. I am very thankful for the initiative and hard work that Tim and his team have done to promote this.”
- Pablo D., PhD
“The APEC Conference is undertaking the important task of converging diverse pioneers to the point of building the ultimate propulsion system in an open, public forum.”
- Wayne Ojala, Falcon Space
“APEC is a unique environment where the vast knowledge and experience of its presenters can mix with a devoted group of independent researchers pursuing next-gen propulsion.”
- Jacob Helvey, Frontier Gravity

About The APEC Conference
The Alternative Propulsion Engineering Conference (APEC) is a fully online, Zoom-based conference on emerging propulsion research including gravity-modification, inertial propulsion, warp-drives, and field-effect propulsion. Our conference presenters & attendees include a diverse collection of PhD physicists, engineers & garage-experimenters who have come together in a single forum.
Our participants range from theoretical physicists publishing peer-review papers on quantum & relativity theory to gravity-hackers trying to reverse-engineer UFOs in their garage. We respect theoretical physics, but we’re an engineering conference, which means we’re always on the lookout for new experimental methods. APEC has enlisted dozens of the top innovators in exotic propulsion in what has been called “The Woodstock of Antigravity” – an open, collaborative environment seeking to cross-pollinate scientific discovery and engineering achievement.
Our conference has featured dozens of the subject matter experts in field-effect propulsion & gravity-modification research, and as we continue to explore new ideas our collaboration continues to grow.
