Register now for PulpFest 2025 and beat the rush.
All PulpFest 2025 members — including dealers — must register for the convention.
Members who register in advance and book a room at the beautiful DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Pittsburgh – Cranberry in Mars, Pennsylvania get the best deal.
The $40 cost gets you into all PulpFest 2025 events held during the convention and includes free early-bird shopping to thank you for your PulpFest support. If you pay at the door, the cost will be $50.
An early-bird membership will get you into the dealers’ room from 9 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. on Thursday, August 7. Only staff, dealers, and early birds will be allowed into the dealers’ room during these hours.
Please realize that due to travel conditions and other contingencies, the convention cannot guarantee that each and every PulpFest dealer will be available during our early-bird hours.
For those members staying elsewhere, the cost is $50 without early-bird shopping and $80 with early-bird shopping.
Single-day memberships to PulpFest 2025 for Friday or Saturday are also available for $25 per day. Please note that single-day memberships are not available on Thursday, August 7. If you wish to participate in early-bird shopping, you must purchase a full membership to the convention.
