For many NMRA members, getting to a convention is a significant challenge. Whether because of work, travel, cost, or health issues, it is often impossible to make the trip to a convention. For 2024, the PCR is presenting an on-line virtual version of the convention for those members that cannot attend in person.
While it is never possible to replicate the in-person experience of a live convention, the PCR 2024 Virtual Convention will provide a part of the experience for remote attendees. But, if you cannot attend the in-person convention, you can get a great on-line experience with both clinics and other on-line activities.
Registration for the PCR 2024 Virtual Convention costs $20 before January 15, 2024 and $30 after that date.
On-Line Virtual Experiences Currently Planned
- Clinics – one of the three clinics rooms will be equipped with cameras and microphones to enable remote participants to see the clinician, presentations, and demonstrations in a special video workspace. The room will have active moderation and clinics will be followed by on-line meeting time with clinicians.
- Contest Room Reviews – PCR Master Model Railroaders and Contest Judges will take you on a video tour of the contest room. They will discuss the models and, for those that were judged, a bit about the contest judging process. Learn about contests in a very unique way.
- On-line discussions and Birds of a Feather – there will be opportunities to meet with the other virtual participants for discussions and sharing.
