Apply to vend at BurlyCon! Vending applications are a rolling submissions between March 15th and July 15th (or until all slots are filled). BurlyCon is looking to provide a variety of vendors and goods at our November convention. The purpose of having an application is to mitigate the oversaturation of item types, give marginalized vendors a chance to debut at BurlyCon, and balance direct industry-related vendors with tangential vendors.

Vendors will be notified of their application status no more than 2 weeks after receipt of the application.

If necessary, a waitlist will be created should vending be filled before July 15th.

Each vendor may have 2 individuals working at their booth. Vendors may purchase up to 2 discounted badges if they or their booth help would like to attend classes or events. This discount is due to the majority of the vendors' time being spent in the vending hall.

Vendors may purchase discounted advertisement space in the commemorative BurlyCon 2025 program.

All vendors will be listed on the BurlyCon website with links to the vendor's direct shop.

Part of vending at BurlyCon includes pre-convention advertisement provided by BurlyCon. This advertisement includes at least 1 individual social media shout-out on both Facebook and Instagram, at least 1 mention in our pre-convention newsletter, and inclusion in at least 3 group teaser reels of what attendees can look forward to at BurlyCon 2025. For BurlyCon to uphold this promise, all promotional materials will be received no later than August 15th. Vendors who provide the materials after August 15th may not have as much dedicated time.

Upon acceptance to vend, BurlyCon will send a small survey asking for images you would like highlighted and advertising copy about what you would like BurlyCon attendees to know about your shop. Those who return the requested materials before August 15th may have their storefront included in additional teaser reels.
