Vendor Hall

Convergence 2009 will run a vendor hall during the event on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  The vendor hall works very much like an exposition, where vendors will have tables / booths to showcase their products and services.

Tables are open to all business, clubs, individuals who have products and services that are directed towards the community in general. There are few other venue opportunities like the Convergence vendor hall to reach hundreds of gay men of size and their friends.

All different types of business are welcome to participate. Some of the businesses that have participated in the past include: Fashion and clothing, charities, online websites, Girth & Mirth Clubs, media producers (videos and magazines), political and activist groups, other community event organizers, artists, crafts and gifts, plus many more. Adult content and products are permissible. The vendor hall is also a great to launch a new product or market test it with our community demographics.

A limited number of tables are available. Each table is 2" x 6" and will be skirted. Two chairs will be provided per table. Free wireless Internet access will be provided courtesy of BiggerCity.com. If you have your own free standing display, please let us know when you contact us.
