A Convention That Brings People Together
Collecting has always been about more than just the items—it’s about the stories behind them, the history they represent, and the people who share the passion. At the PNW Collector Convention, visitors will find not just rare treasures but also the opportunity to meet others who share their excitement.
For long-time collectors, it’s a chance to showcase their knowledge, buy and sell pieces, and connect with others in the community. For new hobbyists, it’s an invitation to explore, ask questions, and start a journey that may become a lifelong passion.
Our mission has always been to make the event approachable, fun, and enriching, whether you’re a serious investor in graded collectibles or a family looking for a unique weekend outing.
Supporting the Local Community
The PNW Collector Convention isn’t just about collectors—it’s also about community impact. Each year, the event draws visitors from across Washington, Oregon, Idaho, and beyond, boosting the local economy with hotel stays, restaurant visits, and tourism in the Tri-Cities.
We’re proud to partner with local hotels, restaurants, and organizations to make the convention weekend a success for everyone involved. Our goal is to make Kennewick a destination for hobby enthusiasts and families alike, shining a spotlight on the Pacific Northwest as a region full of history, culture, and innovation.
