The PIM – Phonecards International Meeting is the world’s largest annual event dedicated to phonecard collecting and the history of public telephony. Organized every April by the Worldwide Phonecards Collectors Club, the PIM brings together collectors, exhibitors, and enthusiasts from 26 countries at the Parco Culturale Le Serre in Grugliasco, Turin.
Entry is always free and open to everyone, from seasoned collectors to those discovering phonecards for the first time. Each edition features exhibiting collectors from around the world, special thematic exhibitions tied to the history of public telephony, and the WPC Club Charity Auction, where 100% of proceeds go to a selected charity partner.
Since its first edition in 2024, the PIM has grown to welcome over 3,000 visitors across three editions, establishing itself as the primary international reference point for phonecard collectors worldwide.
Every edition of the PIM offers collectors and enthusiasts a full programme of exhibitions, exchanges, and cultural activities.
Between 50 and 80 exhibitors per edition display their phonecard collections for exchange, sale, and showcase.
Each edition features curated exhibitions from companies, museums, and institutions connected to the history of public telephony.
Collectors and businesses donate items for a live charity auction. 100% of proceeds go directly to a selected charity partner.
Collectors from up to 25 countries per edition gather to exchange, connect, and share their passion for phonecard collecting.
The 4th edition of the PIM – Phonecards International Meeting
is expected to take place in April 2027 in Grugliasco, Turin.
Official dates and details will be announced in the coming months.
In the meantime, let us know how you’d like to be involved.

Reading the numbers
Exhibitor numbers decreased across editions as the PIM sharpened its focus exclusively on phonecard collecting, the first edition also welcomed collectors of coins, stamps, bottle caps, and Do Not Disturb cards. At the same time, visitor numbers grew fourfold, from 400 in 2024 to 1,600 in 2026. A more specialised event, with a larger and more engaged audience.
