Welcome to the 2009 IPMS/USA National Convention!
Last Updated: 9/22/2009
THANK YOU!!!
First of all, the staff of the IPMS/USA 2009 National Convention would like to thank ALL of the volunteers, vendors, National IPMS OFficers, and attendees for helping us to put on a wonderful conference. We at IPMS/Eddie Rickenbacker really enjoyed meeting and serving all of you! We hope you had a great time, and want to encourage everyone to visit Phoenix in 2010 and Omaha in 2011!
We had 1,015 registered participants, and 2,525 models on the table. The quality of the entries was first rate, and the judges had a difficult job selecting the winners. Congratulations to all who competed - your models were spectacular and much appreciated!
Stay tuned to this web site as we process the pictures from Saturday and post the winners, as well as more information on decal sheets, pins, and T-shirts (which proved QUITE popular!). We are hoping to be able to offer the chance to order if you missed them the first time around. We should have more information within the week.
