We look forward to seeing you at the 2026 IPMS/USA convention in Fort Wayne, Indiana. We are expecting a great turnout of modelers, contestants and vendors.
Convention registration allows attendees full access to the contest and vendor rooms, Tiger Meet, all of the free seminars and paid workshops, and any planned tours (some also carry a fee). It also allows unlimited model entries. Paid attendees also can bring guests for each day of the convention, thought guest entry does not include access to workshops or tours.
Pre-registration will be $65 and will be open March 1 through July 5. IPMS/USA members will receive an email with a link to register on that date and further instructions will be posted on this page. Walk-in registration will be available at the convention, but the cost will increase to $75 and some of the usual amenities may not be available at that point. Please note that full registration, whether before the convention or walk-in, requires IPMS/USA membership, which can be done on the IPMS website or at the convention.
We also provide for $15 daily admission, which allows access to the day's events, but does not include contest entries, seminars, workshops or tours.
As you are preparing for attending the convention, here are some of the opportunities, and their costs, you will see on the pre-registration form:
- Convention T-shirt: $20
- Convention pin: $5
Some of these items might still be available, at the same price, for walk-in registration.
See you in Fort Wayne
