2026 Vendor Update
Want to be a vendor for the 2026 event? Below are details about the process along with a timeline for the applications.
Vendor Application Process
The event will be juried again. As the convention continues to grow in size, it’s important that we curate the marketplace, as it’s one of the biggest draws to the event overall.
How it will work:
Fill out the application. Please please please read and take your time filling out the application. Make sure you’ve spelled your name correctly – and triple check your email address is correct. The application will be open for FIVE DAYS – so there is no need to rush through the application. There is no benefit to submitting it within the first few minutes or the last minute it’s open. Do not submit your application more than once.
** NEW FOR 2026 **
This year’s application includes a required field for an image of your booth/setup from previous conventions. This helps us better understand your layout and display style. First-year vendors may upload a mock-up or sample photo of the products they plan to sell.
Application Opens: 1/2/2026 10:00am EST
Application Closes: 1/6/2026 5:00pm EST
Application Acceptance / Denials: 1/15/2026 Approx.
Vendor Only Hotel Block 1/15/2026 Approx.: If you are approved – you will receive an email that includes a special link for ONLY vendors. Details to follow in the approval email.
Invoicing: 1/19/2026: If approved you will start receiving invoices on 1/19
SALES TAX ID
Your application will automatically be rejected and taken out of the running if you do not submit a valid sales tax ID. Do not put “NA or You have it” – your application will be sorted out and rejected. Find it and add it to your application. The application is NOT timed. If you are out of state and need to apply for a transient vendor application – you can wait until you are accepted into the event. If this is the case, please write “Will obtain if accepted into the show”. Besides non profits or setting up a table where you aren’t actually selling anything – there is no exceptions to this rule. If you are accepted, you will need to obtain your sales tax ID within 3 weeks of being accepted.
Payment:
Once you’ve received your acceptance email, you will then receive an invoice (additional details to follow in your acceptance email on invoice date), you will have 5 days to pay your invoice. You are required to pay by the 5th day at 5pm or your space will be forfeited and go to another vendor on the waitlist. Each invoice will have the price of your space plus sales tax. Payment has to be paid in full, we can not accept partial payments.
Pricing / Booth Placement
We do our best to arrange our vendors on the floorplan. If you would like to be next to someone, please let us know in the form, but it is not always possible (example: you and your friend want to be placed next to each other but one bought a booth and one bought a table. Tables and booths are separated in different areas). If you prefer to be where you were last year, please let us know on the form – again – we will TRY our best to accommodate these requests but it’s not always possible.

- Non-refundable: All exhibit spaces are final sale and cannot be moved to a future TooManyGames event. Since our spaces are juried, we do not allow transfers unless it’s approved by TooManyGames.
- Badges: 2 per company (if you purchase 8 spaces, you will only get 2 badges). Additional badges can be purchased when you apply for your table and also closer to the event there will be a final call for badges. Artist Alley can only buy one additional badge during this process because of the limited space in the Artist Alley area.
- Add-ons (electric, extra badges) will have a final order opportunity in April.
