It is a requirement that you sign and return the form along with your payment for a table.

To get the restaurant coupon, you can simply click the button above that reads “Restaurant Coupon” and it will open to a PDF file. You can download and print as many copies as you need.







SEMINARS



Special features of the show include both seminars and rare pens for sale and exhibit. In 2019, experts in a number of writing-related fields gave a variety of seminars. The seminars are again on Saturday, are approximately 50 minutes in length, and are held on an hourly basis starting in the morning. You are welcome to attend the seminars with your paid admission to the Sunday show. However, your paid admission to the Sunday show does not allow you to enter the pen trading showroom on any day except Sunday starting at 10AM. Attendance at any event other than the Sunday show and Saturday seminars requires your payment as either a “Trader” or “Exhibitor.” In making your decision about the type of admission to purchase, remember that numerous tables and people selling pens are already in place as early as Thursday afternoon. ***Both General Admission and Trader admission can be purchased at the show registration desk***.​​ The seminar topics and the times will be listed on the web site as we near the date of the Show.
