WSS-NY 2016 Final Meeting Room Call


With World Stamp Show-NY 2016 rapidly approaching, this is the "final call" for reserving meeting rooms for use during its eight day run from May 28 to June 4 at the Javits Center in New York City.

The show has received an overwhelming response from philatelic organizations around the world requesting space to hold meetings and seminars. As of this time 111 groups from several countries will be participating, totaling over 210 gatherings and 300+ hours of presentations.

Rod Juell, Society and Affiliates Chair, explains further.

"We have 16 rooms from 8 AM to 6 PM daily that have been filling up as seen on our events calendar at http://www.ny2016.org/EventCalendar.aspx and on the daily listing sheets at http://www.ny2016.org/pdf/NY2016_me...d_events.pdf. We still have 1 and 2 hour slots available most days on a first-come basis and at no charge for societies looking for meeting room space. It will be another 10 years before another opportunity like this takes place."

Only reservations made by January 29 can be guaranteed a listing in the official show program. Presentations not only for established collectors, but introductory talks that may be of interest to newcomers and casual collectors are especially encouraged.

Juell further reminds those who have already scheduled events to review their online listing for completeness and accuracy. Presentation titles and presenter names, when appropriate, should accompany every event.

Listing updates, room inquiries and questions are to be emailed to him as soon as possible at rodney.juell@ny2016.org.
