Virginia Postal History Society confirms NAPEX 2026 presence at Table K

NAPEX announced on 27 August 2026 that the Virginia Postal History Society will convene during NAPEX 2026, giving visitors a specific meeting point at Table K in the club hallway. The newly posted notice adds an organized postal-history presence to the programme immediately before the three-day exhibition opens in McLean, Virginia.

NAPEX 2026 runs from 28 to 30 August at the Hilton McLean Tysons Corner, 7920 Jones Branch Drive. Published public hours are 10:00 to 18:00 on Friday and Saturday and 10:00 to 16:00 on Sunday. Admission and parking are free. NAPEX is part of the American Philatelic Society’s World Series of Philately and serves collectors across Washington, D.C., Maryland and Virginia.

The Virginia Postal History Society studies the postal development, markings, routes, post offices and surviving mail of the Commonwealth. Its table provides a practical contact point for collectors who want to discuss Virginia covers, learn about the society or connect unidentified material with specialists. The announcement does not list a formal meeting time, lecture or separate presentation, so the confirmed addition is the society’s presence at the designated table.

Specialist societies are an important part of large exhibitions because they connect competitive displays and dealer stock with focused research communities. For postal historians, access to regional knowledge can help establish an item’s route, office, rate or historical setting—details that are not always apparent from a stamp catalogue alone.

Visitors seeking the society should use Table K in the club hallway during NAPEX. The official post does not specify whether representatives will staff the table continuously throughout all show hours. No advance registration is stated for visiting the table, while the wider exhibition remains open to the public without an admission charge.
