From 1985 the association has organized The Postcard's Days which is an exhibition and collection event.
The competition shows and the education they require of the judges, form an important part of the association's activity. In the autumns the members gather together every year in different parts of Finland for postcard seminars.
The international activity has become more important for the association in the recent years. Even foreign dealers have participated in The Postcard's Days, as well as buyers.
