NEWS:
On June 25, 2020, it was announced that the IPMS/USA 2020 Convention in San Marcos, TX has been postponed until 2023 due to the ongoing COVID-19 Pandemic.  We are saddened by this news as we were looking forward to a good time in Texas thanks to the hospitality of Chairman Len Pilhoffer and all all the others who were eager to make the planned 2020 event an unforgettable one.  However, we're sure that the 2023 event will be awesome and we plan to be there
The 2021 IPMS/USA National Convention will be held in Las Vegas, NV at the Rio Resort and Convention Center from August 18-21, 2021.  Stash some extra cash now--there will be a casino onsite in addition to a huge vendors area!  If you live in or near the Southwestern USA, make plans now to attend as a competitor or visitor!
In 2022, the IPMS/USA National Convention will return to America's Heartland, Omaha, NE.  We attended spectacular IPMS/USA conventions there in 2011 and 2017 and we're excited to make the trip again in 2022!
