Not sure yet one way or the other, but my guess would be no. They will wait until the Sept Long Beach show like last year.
I hope so.
They used to do them at all the major shows. No way to know for sure, but it's still early, and they DID host a very nice spread at FUN in January. Invites used to go out around 6 weeks ahead of time, so I'd either stay tuned or just ask them directly.
Give customer service a call... They should be able to answer that question... Cheers, RickO
I have not seen an invite...

I noticed that PCGS was not a Corporate sponsor of the ANA summer money show. Wondering if they were instead focusing on the ANA luncheon show instead.
Because times are tough? Business is down? They couldn't possibly afford to do both?
It's entirely possible their new private equity masters have chosen to divert their marketing dollars elsewhere, which might or might not include sponsoring a collector get together in Pittsburgh, but not being a Corporate sponsor of the show means nothing with respect to whether or not they are focusing on a luncheon.
If anything, their failure to be a sponsor could also lock them out of the ability to book space in the convention center if they want to. I don't know how those things work, whether ANA controls the space during the show, and, if so, whether they'd refuse to make ballroom space available to non-sponsors. I can tell you that doing anything off site makes it a bit of a pain to attend, unless it's an end of day cocktail hour when there is no auction session.
Too early. If there will be one, it wouldn't be for another month or so. It's not a wedding, and the show is still over 2 months away. They just sent out invites today for Early Entry at Long Beach, and that show is in 3 weeks!
I was hoping they would do the kids educational event at his show like they did a few years ago in Pittsburgh.
