How many tables will there be?

There will be 28 tables in the Dealers Den, and 5 in Artist Alley for a grand total of 33 tables!

Why only weekend booking in the Dealers Den?

We had more interest than we had space last year. With the convention growing in numbers we expect there to be even more interest this year! Because of this Dealers Den will be for those who wish to vend for the entire event, and Artist Alley will be for those wanting to vend for 1-2 days.

Why are there only 5 Artist Alley Tables?

Deciding how many tables to have is a balancing act. We want there to be lots of vendors for the attendees to choose from, but also for those Vendors to feel they are getting enough business to make the convention a profitable event for them. At this time 33 total vendors feels like the correct amount for our expected level of attendance. As the con grows we can add more and more vendors, so drag your friends along!

Can I still get a table at the event?

Yes, but depending on the amount of advanced bookings space will be very limited. As we are now having a separate Artist Alley space, we will not be reserving a table for at-event bookings.

Can I have an assistant?

Yes! You will be able to have one table assistant registered.

Can I split a table?

Yes however to keep things simple in the reg system, please have 1 person apply and list who you will be sharing with on the application.

Will Masks be required in the vendor spaces?

No, however we strongly encourage attendees to wear a mask not just in the vendor spaces, but throughout the event. We will have masks available for free at the entrance to Dealers Den, and throughout the hotel. We also strongly encourage all attendees to practice proper hygiene, including washing your hands, or using hand sanitizer on a regular basis, and especially after being in high-traffic areas.
