Springfield Armory Museum Tours would occur every 1/2 hour or so as the museum can only handle a max of 50 people in a group. The education center can hold 200. The tour would start with a movie in the Museum theater, followed by a tour of the Armory museum and grounds. The historic site is close to our venues too.

For those without personal transportation, a 14 passenger shuttle will arrive at the Sheraton Monarch Place Hotel (hotel across the street from the Springfield Marriott) at 12:45 pm. The shuttle will pick up passengers and transport them to the Springfield Armory Museum. The shuttle will make continuous loops, with the last trip leaving at 5:15 pm from the museum. End of service 5:30 pm.

The event will be catered with refreshments from Noon to 5:00 pm in the Top of the City conference room.

VIP is defined as dealers, assistants, displayers, early admission, seminar givers and approved volunteers.

Please add this to your agenda!
