About the Show
A massive philatelic exhibition is being planned in conjunction with New York State’s celebration of the Hudson–Fulton–Champlain Quadricentennial in 2009. The 2009 Hudson-Fulton-Champlain Quadricentennial Stamp Exposition (StampExpo 400) is scheduled for September 25–27, 2009 on the Concourse of the Empire State Plaza in Albany, New York. This will be a signature event of the of the Quadricentennial celebration and is being sponsored by the New York Federation of Stamp Clubs, in conjunction with the New York State Hudson–Fulton–Champlain Quadricentennial Commission. The venue features more than two acres of space for dealers, a 4,800-square-foot exhibit room, and five meeting rooms. There is room for more than 300 competitive exhibits and 150 dealers. StampExpo 400 chairman is Conrad Novick of South Glens Falls, New York, president of the Adirondack Stamp, Post Card & Ephemera Club. “We are attempting to secure a legacy release of the 1909 Hudson–Fulton stamp for the show, as well as participation of external exhibits and presentations by relevant historical societies and technical and educational organizations related to New York and the Northeast,” he said. The Venue
The underground Empire State Plaza runs 1,348 feet from the New York State capital to the New York State Museum. The yellow portion is the public corridor and is available for the show. The green areas are the meeting rooms, convention center, and what will be our competitive exhibit area. A large version of the plan may be downloaded, below. |

Bourse / Dealer Information
StampExpo 400 will feature a major dealers bourse. The North and South Concourse on Fridays has an average of approximately 20,000 people utilizing its services for dining , banking, and shopping, — a huge population to attract as buyers. Dealers may contact Bourse Chair John J. Nunes (nunesnook@aol.com) to indicate their planned attendance. A 25% deposit will not be required until after costs to cover exposition and bourse expenses not covered by New York State, including advertising costs, are determined. The bourse will be in the Concourse on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday and in the Convention Center connected to the Concourse on Saturday and Sunday. Dealers will have the option of reserving space for two or three days days in the Convention Center, the Concourse, or both. More information on border access documents and procedures for Canadian dealers, table layout, and the budget for this not-for-profit event will be issued soon. The State of New York will fund a majority of costs. |
