Default Looking for booth space at the national!

Very interested, on wait list and don’t have a booth this year after setting up the last 8 years. Willing to pay more than my fair share for booth space. DM me.

So you've set up the last 8 years, more importantly pre-covid, and you got bumped to the waiting list?

How are all the Covid Time noobie YouTube influencers getting tables and you cant?
You've been around longer, you should be getting a table before them...

Did the process change?

They added booths upstairs to address the length of the year-to-year waitlist. I suspect he missed a deadline or two. I wish they moved the influencers upstairs. Them making content at their booths screws up the traffic flow for every other booth near them.

They did. I talked to a dealer who is upstairs and they received the vendor list. I heard it's pretty stacked with known YouTubers which they are hoping will keep that area busy.

i thought subletting was not allowed and if caught the implications are significant.

Yes, it could cost dealers loss of priority. I already know of some people who lost booths after last year because of it. Because of the long waitlist they are cracking down on it.

I had set up at 7 of the last 8 National Conventions. When I was first going to get a booth a friend offered to just add one to his so we could help each other watch the booths. This wasn’t an issue back then and getting a booth wasn’t difficult.

I won’t be setting up this years as some jealous whiney bitches turned us in as subletting. We were offered the option to form a legal business partnership but for now have declined that option. I had also had a booth at the 1992 & 1993 shows. I understand discouraging scalping but there should be some leeway or arbitration process for certain cases.

I'm glad the National is trying to enforce the rules, but how do ppl even get caught? Every booth seems to have ppl coming and going. How do you know if someone sublet from them? All parties can deny it and just claim "I was watching my buddy's booth while he walks the floor."
