Deadline: Apr 12, 2025

Thank you for your interest in becoming a vendor for NerdVana Expo!

 

This application will have different questions depending on if you’re an artist/craft, a reseller, and or a storefront owner.  

 

Please take the time to read through it fully and reach out with any questions you may have.

If your application doesn’t get approved, it will be placed on a waitlist.  As we would love to accept everybody, it’s not humanly possible, unfortunately. We will keep up with who all has applied and reach back out so we can keep rotating vendors to make things fresh for future events.
