Annual Convention and Auction
Each year in the early Fall, the Club holds a four-day Annual Convention. To attend, please Register Here. This entertaining and informative event moves around the country each year providing members an opportunity to see collections throughout the nation.
Activities. In conventions past we have seen hands-on decorating by china painters, heard presentations on the history of Pickard and other Chicago studios, learned about the life and work of artists and their descendents, and learned porcelain painting techniques, insurance and other helpful information.
Tours. Often included are chartered bus tours of the host city, visits to historic sites, and in-home exhibitions of private collections.
Auction and Sale. The Annual Banquet and Auction is always a highlight and a rare opportunity to see a wide range of china available for appreciation or purchase. Another convention event is the Sunday Sale by dealers and individuals, an opportunity to take home that treasure you have long been searching for. Most importantly, you will take home the friendships made with those who share your passion for all things Pickard.

Our home for the 2024 convention will be The Hilton Garden Inn Milwaukee Airport – September 12th – 15th!
