World Stamp Show New York 2016

22 East 35th Street, New York, NY 10016, info@ny2016.org First "World Stamp Show- NY 2016" Event at Stampshow in Hartford To some stamp collectors, it's hard to believe that the last international philatelic exhibition held in the United States, "Washington 2006," closed its doors more than two years ago. America's next great decennial show, scheduled for 2016, is now less than 8 years away! "World Stamp Show- NY 2016" (or "NY 2016" for short) takes place May 22-29, 2016 at the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York City. Wade Saadi of Brooklyn, NY presides over its Board of Directors. Show organizers welcome all interested philatelists to come to its first public gathering on Saturday, August 16 at 11 am at the Hartford Convention Center in Hartford, CT as part of the American Philatelic Society's annual Stampshow, taking place August 14 thru 17. The first 50 attendees arriving by 11 am will be given a raffle ticket for a chance to win one of three valuable door prizes held at the conclusion of the 30 minute presentation. NY 2016 celebrates the 100 th anniversary of this country's first international stamp exhibition held in 1913, also in New York City, and held every ten years or so ever since. In honor of that rich tradition, the brief program will include speakers who made Ameripex '86, Pacific 97 and Washington 2006 such a huge success. Further information about NY 2016 can be found on the show's web site at http://www.ny2016.org/ , which will be officially launched during the program. Societies, dealers and individual collectors with web pages are welcome to display a NY 2016 logo and link on their home page. Print publications may also use the logo to help promote the show. As the "Old Blue Eyes" song "New York, New York" goes, "Start spreading the news!"
