ralph4hand Posted October 13, 2012 Report Share Posted October 13, 2012 (edited) The official 2013 Convention web page came on-line today and is an excellent presentation of information on the event. My congratulations, to Eieen Persichetti, Webmaster, on her exceptionally well designed Convention web page. It's easy to navigate, well thought out, and above all; very informative at this stage of development. THANK YOU Eieen. :-) Edited October 14, 2012 by ralph4hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ppalombi Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I just tried to make a reservation at the Embassy Suites and was told that the room block is gone and that they are sold out on Aug. 15th and 16th. Any word if the block will be expanded? Thanks, Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralph4hand Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) Suggest you contact Chuck Holte, the Convention Chairman at; chair@ipmsusa2013.com He's in the best position to know about or check into this. There have been past reports of "Sold-out" by Hotel Staff that were incorrect. Good Luck and TAKE CARE, Ralph Edited October 19, 2012 by ralph4hand Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRechlicz Posted October 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 I was looking to preregistering my entries and according to the contest website I should be able to do that now but I cannot find anywhere on their website to do that. Is it active? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Bell Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 I may be wrong here, but I can't find anywhere that says you can register your models via the internet. For the convention, yes and there's a place where they say the forms will be available in the future, but I can't find anything about pre-registering models. I don't think we've been able to register our models in advance for the last few conventions, have we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRechlicz Posted October 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Check the FAQ. "Can I preregister my models". Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Bell Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 You're right, but this is the only mention of it anywhere and as I said, we haven't been able to do that recently. I've emailed the contest chairman via the Contacts section of the site to see if he can shed some light on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Bell Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 I heard back from the contest chair and he's says on line model registration is news to him. He thinks it's just an editing error in the FAQ section but is checking it out and will let me know the definitive answer. By the way, kudos to Matt Quiroz, the contest chair. He got back to me within 24hrs! That's service for ya! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbeach84 Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Hey, why does the site show "50 years of modeling"? That is the 2014 CON, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbeach84 Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Nope, doesn't make it any more plain why 49 years later, we are starting to 'celebrate' 50 years unless of course IPMS/USA's original charter was issued in 1963... does that mean it will then END in August of 2014?

Ron Bell Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 It's an attempt to hype the 50th convention, which you can't do after that convention has happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbeach84 Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Okay, so the 2013 NATS is the 50th convention? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghodges Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 It's just a shifty advertising ploy.....IPMS is going to count the 364 un-birthdays before counting the real one! GIL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewahl Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 I am 71, which means I am in my 72nd year of life. My 72nd year of life ENDS on my birthday. Same goes for IPMS. The 50th year of IPMS begins the day after the 49th National Convention (2013) and ends with the 50th National Convention (2014). This is not rocket science.

Mark Deliduka Posted November 8, 2012 Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 At least I'll be able to attend one of these celebrations! I can't wait!

MRechlicz Posted November 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2012 It's a year long celebration. I hope to make both Loveland and the Tidewater shows. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Bell Posted November 9, 2012 Report Share Posted November 9, 2012 (edited) The advance, on-line registration of models problem has been fixed. There is no on-line registration of models. If you check the FAQ section, it now reflects that. NIce work on Loveland's part in fixing this ASAP. Edited November 9, 2012 by Ron Bell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRechlicz Posted December 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 Curious minds want to know: When are we going to be able to register for the convention and it is noted on their website that the banquet menu was supposed to be listed in December so when are we going to be able to view that? Any updates on the categories and are you going to list the vendors that have signed up? Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeBrickman Posted February 24, 2013 Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 (edited) Is there any chance we can see which contest categories are already sponsored, and by which chapter/group? Mike Brickman As of 10 March, this is now available. Thank you very much! Edited March 10, 2013 by MikeBrickman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRechlicz Posted February 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 I can tell you that I am sponsoring category #140 and the special award Best F-4 Phantom. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MRechlicz Posted February 27, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2013 Just wondering when a list of the vendors who are attending the show will be listed. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
