2026 Show Theme
Each year, the organizing committee of the Southeastern Stamp Expo selects a theme for the show. Our theme manifests itself in our advertising, our commemorative show cover, a write-up in our show program, including the philatelic aspects of the theme, and, oftentimes, presentations and exhibits supporting the theme as well.
The theme for the 2026 Expo will be announced soon.
