PAIMA 2026 CONVENTION RAFFLE IS BACK

Dear PAIMA Members and Prospective Members attending our PAIMA 42nd Annual Convention next month in San Diego:

The perennial favorite is back by popular demand! The ever-popular PAIMA Raffle will take place during our 2026 PAIMA Convention in San Diego next month.

We highly encourage all attendees to bring along a fun and interesting raffle item. Imagination is the limit—anything from local souvenirs to unique items from your country are welcome.

Please bring your raffle items to the Buffet Breakfast on October 19th so we can prepare them for the event. As a reminder for those who joined us in New York City last year, each registered attendee will find a green raffle ticket inside their name badge. Please hold onto this ticket, as it is not a drink ticket. We will also have several PAIMA raffle prizes available, so everyone has a chance to win a wonderful prize.

We look forward to seeing you soon in San Diego!

Another reminder that we have a tremendous program this year in San Diego including several Guest Speakers, one of them being a specialist in the lucrative "FF&E" (Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment) segment. Sign up TODAY!

CREDIT CARD AND WIRE TRANSFER PROCESSING FEES:

After decades of PAIMA absorbing credit card and wire transfer fees, it was determined by the PAIMA Board of Directors to replicate what other associations are doing vis-a-vis credit card and wire transfer processing fees. Please be advised that moving forward, there will be a 3% convenience fee for credit card transactions and a $75.00 wire transfer fee, for wire transfers respectively. We are happy to report that there of course are not fees for checks. Please make note and thank you for supporting the well-being of our Association.

MANDATORY ATTENDANCE REMINDER:

PAIMA Members - As per PAIMA By-Laws which were approved during our one of our past General Assemblies, please make note that a penalty fee of $500 will be levied for convention non-attendance compliance which requires attending the PAIMA convention at least once every two years.

One of the biggest value-adds of being a PAIMA Member is to attend the yearly convention. You can count on tremendous networking and business opportunities with the PAIMA family and friends.
