Vendor booths are $500 for a 10×10 space, limited to one vendor per booth. Each booth includes two 8-foot tables with black tablecloths, two chairs, a trash can, pipe and drape setup, hooks for hanging banners behind your booth, and power. Booth placement is inside the main expo hall, but booth assignments are random, and aisle or endcap placements cannot be reserved.

  • Using new, single-use needles and properly sterilized equipment

  • Wearing gloves and maintaining a clean, organized workstation

  • Following proper procedures for blood-borne pathogen safety

  • Disposing of waste in accordance with safe handling protocols

We strongly recommend that all artists have up-to-date Blood-Borne Pathogens and CPR/First Aid training. These certifications help ensure a safe, professional environment for everyone.

Our team will be on-site to help maintain a clean and compliant event space, and we appreciate your cooperation in upholding the highest standards of hygiene and care.

We will have an event team on-site to assist vendors with any issues during the show. For any pre-show questions or concerns, you can reach us through the Contact page.
