What types of vendors are not allowed?

MLM vendors, Non-gaming or geek-related vendors, knock-off or reproduction products, and vendors who don’t align with our event goals. (We do make exceptions to the non-gaming/geek-related product or service if it applies to our consumers in general. If you are unsure you can still fill out an application and we’ll let you know if we can accept you or not)

How much does it cost to be a vendor?

The cost to be a vendor varies depending on the venue and the size of the event. The price will show on the application form for each event.

Do I need a Tax Id to participate?

Yes. NCDOR requires all vendors to have a tax ID. This is not our rule but the States. 

Where can I find the events to sign up for?

The application form lists all events we are currently seeking vendors for. You may also check the event page. If the event is sold out, the application form will show that. However, by signing up you’re automatically added to the waiting list to be reviewed for a possible spot if one opens up.
