Welcome to STATUECON 2026 — Aug 6 – 9, 2026

The Ultimate High‑End Collectibles Experience

Set your calendars for August 6 – 9, 2026 as CollectorZown hosts the third annual STATUECON 2026 at our gallery in Saint Joseph, Michigan. This year we’ve redesigned the show to make it more interactive, more social and even more rewarding for collectors and fans. Join passionate collectors, industry creatives and friends for four days of product reveals, networking, exclusive dinners and unforgettable memories.

What’s New for 2026

• Exclusive product reveals at every dinner. Each evening will unveil a new statue or collectible — pieces never before seen or never displayed on a large scale — giving attendees the first look at the hobby’s hottest releases.

• Master interview and content schedule. To help creators and fans plan their coverage, we’ll publish a master schedule of interview slots and filming opportunities. Reserve your time and make sure your content gets captured!

• Expanded gallery meet‑up areas. More designated spaces on the main gallery floor will be available for filming, live‑streams and casual socializing so you can connect with fellow collectors without interrupting traffic.

• Extended Sunday hours. We’re lengthening Sunday’s programming to provide more time for coverage, interviews and goodbyes.

• Intimate networking dinners. We’ve taken your feedback and reimagined our dinners as smaller, more intimate gatherings with carefully curated menus (vegetarian, vegan and other dietary options will be available). Networking is the goal, so expect relaxed conversation and surprise guests.

• New display partners. Expect a few surprise pieces only at STATUECON!
