What do I get with my vendor registration?
With your basic package vendor registration, you will receive a 10×10 space, a table, 2 chairs, and 8 vendor badges that will serve as your tickets for the event. If you need more than a 10 x 10 space, then you need to pay for each 10 x 10 space that you need.
What if I need an extra table or chairs?
If you need more than what is offered in the basic vendor package you can add on various items. Items like extra tables, extra chairs, electricity for your booth, etc., will be included on the registration page.
