Confirmed event dates and venue

The organizer’s homepage gives December 3, 4, 5 and 6, 2026 as the show dates. The venue information names Marriott Columbus Northwest, 5605 Blazer Parkway, Dublin, Ohio 43017. Keep that Dublin address with your itinerary rather than relying only on the word Columbus in the hotel name.

The site provides separate sections for registration and admission, hotel information, auctions and seminars. An overall four-day date range does not establish that every ticket has the same access or that every activity runs throughout those four days. Check the section relevant to your intended visit before choosing a day.

Choose your purpose before choosing a day

Editorial context: decide whether your priority is browsing pens, asking about an existing pen, or attending a specifically advertised activity. If an activity is essential, confirm its current timing and entry conditions directly. Build your visit around confirmed information rather than assuming the first or last day offers the same access as the middle of the event.

A reader considering an auction should check the organizer’s current auction information and conditions separately from general show admission. The homepage contains both 2026 and older-year material. This guide does not treat an older list, photograph or sponsor heading as confirmation of a 2026 participant or offering.

Prepare useful questions about a pen

For a pen you may buy, write down the features that matter to you: grip shape, nib marking, filling method and the paper you expect to use. For an older pen, ask the seller what is known about its condition and what work, if any, has been performed. Record the answer instead of inferring restoration from appearance alone.

If you want someone to examine a pen you already own, contact the relevant provider first. Ask whether they accept appointments, what information they need and whether any work can be completed during the event. These are general planning suggestions; this guide does not promise that a repairer or nib specialist will be present or available.

Keep the practical details together

Save the official venue address, the admission details for your intended day and any separate activity confirmation. Recheck the organizer’s registration page before paying. Hotel information on an event website should also be checked for its applicable year and current terms; no room availability or accommodation rate is promised here.

Bring a small notebook so you can separate facts about a pen from your reactions to it. Ask permission before testing and note the ink and paper used. A useful visit can end with better questions and no purchase at all.

Before departure, reconfirm the December 3–6 event dates, your chosen day’s access and the Dublin venue on the official site. This is a sourced planning guide, not an attendance report, a vendor directory or a substitute for the organizer’s live schedule.
