The exhibition committee at the ABPS is working hard behind the scenes to create a wonderful exhibition with one of the key focuses being presented by the British Thematic Society.   Stampex & the ABPS are working hard to increase the awareness of competitive exhibitions as we aim to get more people to write up, show & overall celebrate their wonderful collections.   
 
We are delighted to confirm that after the success of Stamp Talks in September 2019, we will be hosting a new series at Stampex 2020.   The full host of talks will be launched on our Stampex newsletter, to sign up for the newsletter please head to the Stampex International website. www.stampexinternational.com
