Delayed start ticket sales

Delayed start ticket sales

Dear all,

unfortunately we had to postpone the start of the online ticket sales due to a technical issue that needs to be resolved. We had planned the lift off for April 15, but it will be a few days later.

No, we have not been hacked, nor are any data leaked. We need to ensure that when you buy a ticket, you actually get an email with a link in order to download that ticket.

We need the help of our provider for that, but it will take a couple of days, sadly. 

We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

Stay tuned for a new launch date.

See you in October!

 

 

The 100

The 100

Vendor count SMC 2024 passing the 100 line

SMC keeps surprising even us as organisers.

Monday January 15th we sent the newsletter inviting the vendors for SMC 2024.

Usually we start two months earlier, about a month or so after the previous SMC. We thought it was a smart plan to take kind of  a break this time around, hence we started only recently.

Much to our surprise, the mailbox was flooded with registrations forms just minutes after the newsletter went out, and this went on all day on Monday and Tuesday. And although it slowed down a bit, this continued until this day (Friday 19th).

Long story short, we are now at the point that we have 110 registrations which means we are nearing the stage that we are fully booked.

In 2023 there were 135 registered stands, and if you consider that, maybe you can understand that we are completely amazed by this. To put it into perspective: previously it took roughly 4 months to reacht that number, and now we reached is less than 5 days.

And the mix is awesome already: great names for all sections of our hobby that you could already find at SMC. And some of those vendors have aoberlready informed us that they will come with stunning new releases.

We’re excited. Hopefully you are too.

See you in October!

Final vendor list and all new contest classes

The SMC contest classes have received a massive overhaul.

We decided to split most of the categories into two levels: standard and master. The majority of these changes have affected the scale modelling classes, although we also looked at the figure classes for this.

Obviously the judging criteria, and the rules to some extend, have also been amended accordingly.

Read more about it on the contest page

And the complete list of vendors is now published too. Don’t forget to check them out (links provided in the list) as all of them will happily take your pre-orders to the show.

See you at SMC 2023, on October 14/15 2023.
