COLLECTING COMMUNITY
Connect With The Collecting Community
One of the most rewarding parts of collecting is the people you meet along the way. QSACS26 brings together collectors, exhibitors, dealers, clubs and societies from across South East Queensland, Australia, New Zealand and beyond, creating opportunities to share knowledge, discover new interests and build lasting connections within the hobby. Whether your passion lies in philately, postal history, numismatics, banknotes, postcards, ephemera, trading cards, militaria or other specialist collecting interests, QSACS26 offers a welcoming environment to meet like-minded people who share your enthusiasm.
Collectors' Café
The Collectors' Café is a relaxed networking initiative designed to connect visitors with fellow collectors, clubs and societies throughout the exhibition. Share stories, exchange knowledge, discover new collecting interests and explore the many different pathways within the hobby. Whether you're a seasoned exhibitor, a first-time visitor or simply curious about collecting, the Collectors' Café provides a welcoming space to learn, connect and participate. Across generations and collecting disciplines, the conversations started here often lead to new friendships, collecting opportunities and lasting community connections.
Clubs & Societies
Collecting thrives because of the dedicated clubs, societies and volunteer organisations that support research, education, exhibitions and community engagement. Visitors will have opportunities to connect with representatives from collecting clubs and societies, learn about their activities and discover communities that align with their specific interests. Additional participating organisations will be announced closer to the exhibition.
