It will be held at Orleans Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on October 18–20. Medals will be awarded in the disciplines of men's singles, ladies' singles, pair skating, and ice dance.

Ice dance
The scores for the rhythm dance were initially calculated erroneously, omitting the Grade of Execution points for the man's half of the pattern step. Hours later, the scores were revised to reflect the proper point totals.[5]
