The Philadelphia Pen Show, considered by many to be one of the largest pen shows in the U.S., will be sponsored this year by Visconti Pens of Florence, Italy.
There is a strong possibility that Visconti founder and chairman, Dante Del Vecchio, will be flying to Philadelphia for the sole purpose of introducing a new Visconti pen with a 23 karat palladium nib flexible and capable of calligraphic writing.
Visconti will also feature its Golden Man pen, a limited edition based on an ancient Georgian legend.
The show will also feature calligraphy classes and a course on pen collecting.
Visitors can attend for $8.00 per day or sign up for a three-day pass for $20.00.
Exhibitors can purchase table for $195 with no limit on tables.
The Philadelphia Pen Show will be held at the Sheraton Philadelphia Center City Hotel. If you are staying at the hotel, ask for the Philadelphia Pen Show rate.
