BOSTON 2026 New IREX

Thomas M. Fortunato, BOSTON 2026 Public Relations Chair, reports from BOSTON 2026.

Boston 2026 exhibitors should be aware that an update has taken place to the Boston 2026 IREX, the exhibition’s rules and regulations, which is now posted on the show’s web site. Applications continue to be accepted exclusively online. The change was necessitated by the upgrade to FIP Patronage from FIP Recognition status.  A number of competitive exhibition classes have been added and are now fully welcomed to join those available earlier.

Exhibitors who had previously applied for frames are not affected by the new IREX and are reminded that the selection of philatelic exhibits will not begin until the September 30 deadline has passed.  Notification of acceptance will come through each country’s respective commissioner by mid-November.  Literature applications, which include books, periodicals, catalogs, web sites, software and similar items will be accepted through January 31.
