We are thrilled to announce that this year’s show has exceeded all expectations – we are oversubscribed with exhibitors and have received an overwhelming response from hosts eager to share their knowledge through workshops running before and after regular show hours. Be sure to check the seminar & workshop schedule and take advantage of these unique learning opportunities!
The fun doesn’t stop when the main show hours end! Workshops continue after hours, giving you even more opportunities to learn and connect. Don’t forget to experience the excitement of Pen Shows After Dark at the annual Baltimore/Washington International Pen Show! Enjoy not one, but two unforgettable after-hours events: one dedicated to vintage pens and another celebrating modern writing instruments and accessories. These after-dark events are the perfect place to connect with new friends who share your passion for pens. Please note that all workshops, seminars, and after-hours events have limited capacity due to room occupancy, so we highly recommend registering for your desired events as soon as possible to secure your spot and avoid disappointment.
To make your experience even smoother, we strongly encourage you to purchase your admittance tickets online in advance—this way, you can skip the wait at the door and dive straight into the fun.
Join fellow pen enthusiasts for evenings filled with socializing, laughter, and camaraderie. Whether your passion is classic/vintage featuring a smorgasbord of pens made before the year 2000 or the latest in modern designs, these after-dark events are the perfect place to connect with new friends who share your passion for pens.
Both gatherings feature engaging activities and a welcoming atmosphere where you can unwind and immerse yourself in the vibrant pen community.
Don’t miss out on the highlight events everyone will be talking about—Pen Shows After Dark are where the real magic happens!
