A quick search suggests the existence of a Pelikan Hub in Dallas, Texas (USA), but I cannot find specifics. Can anyone here tell me more about them? I'd like to learn more about 2020 plans.

I was looking at the statistics for the 2017 Pelikan Hubs and was curious to see that Taiwan had the second largest number of registered attendees with USA in first place. In fact, Taiwan outranked number three Germany by a large factor. Are Pelikans especially popular in Taiwan? Or maybe the Taiwanese are just especially gregarious people. stats here: https://thepelikansperch.com/2017/07/08/pelikan-2017-hubs-locations/?fref=gc

Short version: I was wondering if there was any interest in a Pelikan hub in Syracuse NY? If so, please contact me and/or sign up at the Pelikan Hub website: https://www.pelikan.com/pulse/Pulsar/en_US_INTL.CMS.displayCMS.206767./pelikan-hubs Long version: I live in upstate NY halfway between Albany and Binghamton and am a newb to fountain pen collecting/buying/gathering, but not to hobby meet-ups. I have been a Pelikan devotee since the late 1980s, so I would love to go to one of these new-fangled "hubs" (get off my lawn!). After reading the information helpfully provided by sargetalon at his "Pelikan's Perch" and looking at the Pelikan Hub information provided by Pelikan itself, I realized that Syracuse is the only place that could hold a hub (must be city over 100,000) that is less than a 3 hour drive for me. (I did sign up for Rochester, but that's practically as far as NYC for me!) There seems to be a pen group near-ish to Syracuse (Waterville was their last meeting place), so maybe they are already working on it. But if not, would there be interest in a Syracuse Pelikan Hub? The Hubs will be Friday, September 22, at 6:30 pm local time. My understanding (please correct me if wrong) is that a Hub is a free gathering of Pelikan enthusiasts. There will be information and small gifts for participants from Pelikan. Of course, the Hub may be held in a bar or restaurant, so there may be some optional costs. It should be organized by a local "Hub-Meister," but if no one is willing to do so, I am willing to apply to be the un-local "Hub-Meister" or to assist the Hub-Meister as needed. (About 10 years ago, I organized some multi-day large hobby meetings in various cities, so I have some experience with similar events.) Finally, I would be happy to donate a bottle of some special ink as a "door prize" / incentive to participate in the Hub. (I was thinking of a bottle of the gorgeous special edition ink "Lake Michigan Summer" made by Papier Plume for the 2017 Chicago Pen Show, which I attended.) Please contact me if you need more information or go to the official site (linked above) to register. I would also suggest you visit "The Pelikan's Perch" website for a clear explanation of the Hubs. (And for all your Pelikan informational needs!) The deadline for registration is July 17th. 5 registrants are needed for Pelikan to consider opening a Hub, so let's see if it can be done!

Hi fellow pen friends/Salut des mes amis stylo! I signed up for the Pelikan Hub in Montreal and recently got an email from Pelikan saying: "We have noticed that the number of participants at the Hub City you have registered for is not high enough to form a Hub at the moment." ( ) Since I've had a lot of fun at previous Pelikan hubs (plus, I think that it's high time Montreal had a regular meeting of "Les Amis du Stylo"), I thought I would let my fellow Montrealaise know that: - we have until July 31 to register to try and have a local Pelikan hub (you can register at www.pelikan.com/hubs) - even if we don't have a formal Pelikan hub, we could still set up an informal meeting to show off our pens and try different inks & papers. If you have any questions or need help, feel free to PM me. Thanks for your attention and hope you have a great summer! Regards, Justin (AKA JLS1 on various FP boards) PS: Mods, if this is in the wrong place or against the FPN rules, please feel free to move and/or remove this post. Thanks!

And I'm not quite sure how I got them. It's amazing how much trouble you can get into when you start hanging out with pen people! But seriously, big shout out to Joshua for all your hard work to put this event together for us. It was great to meet so many cool folks and hope to see everyone again at the next BAPC meet up.

Pelikan has this year selected two cities in India as Pelikan Hub. New Delhi being a new entrant and also Mumbai being the other. Pelikan Hub is meet where all are welcomed and it happens all around the world on the same date, making it one of a kind of a event. And an amazing initiative by none other than my favorite pen manufacturer PELIKAN. I am glad that pelikan has chosen me hubmaster for New Delhi this time. All the interested people are welcome to the event. And pelikan sponsors certain gifts to all the participants. For that each interested person has to register by clicking on the link : PELIKAN HUB. So that Pelikan as an organization can make necessary arrangements for the gifts. All pen lovers are welcomed and invited. Request all in India to goto link and register for either of the cities before 30th July. Date : 25th September Venue : To be Decided
