Great American Stamp Show 2027
The Great American Stamp Show (GASS) is the premier annual philatelic exhibition in the United States, jointly produced by the American Philatelic Society (APS), the American Topical Association and the American First Day Cover Society. The next edition takes place 19-22 August 2027 at the Albuquerque Convention Center, 401 2nd NW, Albuquerque, New Mexico 87102.
The show combines a large dealer bourse, a World Series of Philately-level competitive exhibition, society meetings, seminars and youth activities, plus a US Postal Service presence with show-cancellation and first-day-cover services. Collectors, postal historians, exhibitors and dealers use GASS as the year's main marketplace and meeting point for the American philatelic community.
The American Philatelic Society, founded in 1886, is a non-profit organisation for stamp collectors worldwide, serving collectors, educators, postal historians and the general public through a wide range of programmes and services. Per the society's published GASS future-dates list, 2026 was an approved "bye" year (the APS annual meeting and Council of Clubs were instead hosted by the Boston 2026 international exhibition, 23-30 May 2026), making Albuquerque 2027 the next stand-alone GASS.
