The new ENLARGED Vendor Hall hosts a whopping 57 vendor booths, 18 in the Artitorium, and 20 ancillary booths outside of the Marketplace! Awesome.
What kind of booths are available?
Con on the Cob offers LITERALLY SEVERAL options to suit all of your booth-wanting needs. Each booth includes one 4-Day CotC registration badge and vendors may purchase one additional vendor badge per booth for only $30.
Mother of All Marketplaces Purple Booth (6'x8')
This is the standard vendor hall booth. It includes one 6' table and two chairs.
Mother of All Marketplaces Green Booth (6'x12")
These endcap booths are in high demand because they are larger than the regular booths and have sweet placement in the Mother of All Marketplaces. It includes two 6' tables and as many chairs as you want.
Artitorium Booth (5'x8')
Booths in the Artitorium are primarily for artists and cosplayers but other vendors may nab them as well once the Mother of All Marketplaces gets close to full. Each artist in the Artitorium who nabs a booth may hang up to five individual art pieces in the Art Show at no cost. Click here to learn more about the Artitorium and the CotC Art Show.
Ancillary Booth (5'x8')
Ancillary booths are a bit different. They are located throughout the hotel, mostly in the Atrium where the gaming takes place and along the wall above the broad stairway that leads to the Atrium. They do not lock up at night, which is why they are less expensive than regular booths. Ancillary vendors are encouraged to remove their items at night and replace them in the morning. On the plus side, ancillary vendors may set their own hours and conduct business whenever they want. Each ancillary booth includes two chairs and a 6'x18" table, although vendors are encouraged to bring their own table.
Food Truck or Food Stall
Con on the Cob is extremely jazzed to offer FOOD TRUCKS!!!!! Food trucks and food stalls are located outside between atrium and the Mother of All Marketplaces. Food trucks are a very popular attraction and we look forward to providing a host of delicious vittles for your nutritive consumption again this year.
A maximum of eight food trucks or food stalls will be permitted in the parking lot due to size restrictions and in the interest of limiting too much competition between operators. Vendors selling pre-cooked food, bakery items, candy, or snacks are free to purchase regular vendor or ancillary booths (which are located inside the building).
Food truck slots (10’x30′) are only $250, and include two four day convention badges.
