INTERNATIONAL PLASTIC MODELERS’ SOCIETY
On behalf of the International Plastic Modelers’ Society/USA, it is my distinct pleasure to announce the upcoming opening of registration for the 2026 National Convention at Fort Wayne, Indiana. Registration will open on March 1st at 10 AM CST.
On that date, we will activate the registration link on the 2026 Nationals website: https://nats2026.ipmsusa.org/
Prior to March 1 visit the website for information under the Registration/Convention tab for costs of items, pictures, and tour information. For detailed information on Workshops visit the tab Workshops/Seminars on the website.
Remember, you MUST be a member of the International Plastic Modelers Society to register for the National Convention.
Whether this is your first time joining us or you are a return attendee, we are thrilled to invite you to Fort Wayne, Indiana, for what promises to be an unforgettable event filled with creativity, camaraderie, and a shared passion for the art and craft of scale modeling. We expect our exhibition halls to be filled with extraordinary models. Our robust schedule of free seminars, paid workshops and tours offers something for everyone. Our three large vendor rooms will have a myriad of kits and other cool stuff you will probably not see again until the 2027 Convention in Huntsville, Alabama.
There will also be opportunities for you to volunteer around the event to improve the experience for yourself and others. A link to the volunteers system will be shared soon.
We invite you to be a part of the IPMS/USA 2026 National Convention. Your enthusiasm, talent, and dedication are what will make this event truly special. We look forward to an exciting and memorable gathering, and we can’t wait to host you and your families for this special event.
With best wishes,
John Figueroa
