News & Updates – The AcadeCon

NEW UPDATE: 04/30/2024

Hey folks,

Here are a couple updates about Vendor info and VIP Badges for this year’s event.

First and foremost, We are no longer going to be using Kickstarter for our initial badge sales and everything will be going through Tabletop Events. We will be opening Vendor applications and VIP badge sales on Saturday, June 1st at Noon EST.

VENDORS – You’ll start the process by filling out and submitting an application form on the Tabletop Events Site . Applications will be reviewed and based on your needs an invoice will be generated. Your placement and participation is not guaranteed until the invoice is paid. The room and physical layout of our space for this year’s event has changed from 2023 as the DCC is still undergoing their remodel. We will have less space overall than we had last year and thus less room for vendors.

Also, our prices and vendor space allocation are both changing a bit this year to more closely align with other events our size.

In-Line Single ($75) – 10×10 in line with other booths. A 2-3′ space will be held as a walkway between each booth.

In-Line Double ($150) – 22×10 in line with other booths. A 2-3′ space will be held as a walkway at each end of your space, but the center space is yours to use.

Corner Single ($100) – 10×10 at the end of the row / next to only one booth. A 2-3′ space will be held as a walkway between each booth. (Limited numbers available, first-come first served.) Corner Double ($200) – 20×20 at the end of the row. A 2-3′ space will be held as a walkway at each end of your space, but the center space is yours to use. (Limited numbers available, first-come first served.)

Electricity ($150) – This is payable directly to the Dayton Convention Center and is not part of your vendor fee to the convention.

Tables ($30 ea) – This also is payable directly to the Dayton Convention Center and is not part of your vendor fee to the convention but you will need to coordinate with us so they’ll be ready for you when you set up.

On the vendor application there is a place to indicate if you want to use their tables. You are always welcome to bring your own or not use any at all if that best suits your needs.

In addition, the DCC will be open on Thursday, November 9th from 11am to 5pm for vendors who want to set up early. (but you MUST be ready to leave by 5pm).

There will also be space on the vendor application for special requests such as wanting to be near another specific vendor, asking for a gaming table to be added into your space, or wanting a dedicated gaming table associated with your space.

VIP Badges – Will have a limited number (30) of VIP badges this year. The price for these badges is going up is slightly (TY = $100) but includes a T-shirt, a set of four of our yearly d6 dice, 5 of this year’s token (poker chip), one of this year’s d12 dice and potentially other swag. It also comes with limited early access to register for events as well as an invite to our Thursday night meet-n-greet event on 11/09.

All other badges will go on sale on August 15th. There will be ‘early-bird’ pricing on full weekend badges for the first 30 days. Stay tuned for more updates as we get closer and feel free to reach out with comments/questions!
