The 2027 NAME National Convention will be held in Louisville, KY, August 12-15, 2027. The theme is “Glamping.”
A Convention is a gathering of like-minded miniature enthusiasts who come together to play and learn all about the miniatures world. It’s an opportunity to meet others with the same passion; those who want to learn new techniques, view fantastic exhibits, take workshops from world-renowned artisans, and exchange ideas about building and collecting miniatures. There are souvenir gifts, wonderful centerpieces, table favors, and door prizes. – Adapted from NAME.
