DEALER’S ROOM APPLICATIONS
The DemiCon Dealers’ Room capacity is 28 table spaces. For DemiCon 31 we will be holding a juried selection for our vendors. This means that all prospective dealers will need to submit a Dealers’ Room application to be considered for having a space for vending at DemiCon 31.
Dealer tables are $35 per table (strict limit of 3 tables), and a convention membership will be required for workers at your table.
DUE DATE: Applications for Dealers’ Room must be received before 11:59 PM Central Time on February 8, 2020.
Selections will be made during the two weeks following February 8. An email will be sent to each vendor the week of February 15 – February 29, 2020 advising if they have been selected or if they are being placed on the waiting list.
Dealers are required to pay for both convention membership for dealers’ table spaces. If selected, your selection is not final until we receive payment for the membership and table spaces. The confirmation email will include a summary of the application to confirm information. Once confirmed, you will be contacted with payment details.
You will have until 11:59 p.m. Central Time on Thursday, March 26, 2020, to make your payment. If you do not make your payment by the deadline, we will open your table space to the next vendor on our waiting list.
It is no secret that DemiCon would not be what it is without the help and support of all our vendors! As a small token of our gratitude, all dealers will receive the benefit of the early registration price of $45/adult through March 26, 2020 This early registration price will be extended to yourself and any additional employees needed to staff your dealer’s table. The price of your registration does not include the price of the tables. The price per table will be $35. We do have a limit of three (3) tables per dealer. We hope you can come join us at DemCon 31, Legion of Demicon.
