PREVIOUS POSTS:
We are now working on finalizing the vendor line-up, after receiving LOTS of great submissions.

The list of Merchants, Artists, Publishers, etc, who will be part of this year’s Grand Emporium of Weird, will be shared here …

Here’s the update we emailed out to those folks we’d heard from (email sent 21 April):
Thank you for your interest in having a vendor table with us at NecronomiCon this year. Thank you, too, for your tremendous patience waiting for us to get back to you all. We recognize that you all need to make substantial plans for your year and we’re keeping that respectfully in mind as we begin to finally nail down our vendor list for this August. I am proud to say that we’re looking to be a bit ahead of the curve compared to previous years. I anticipate we’ll have a largely final list out to you all (and posted publicly) within the next couple weeks – certainly by mid-May. 
For now, if you’ve worked with us before, you’ll likely get the call-up once again. But, we’re also keen to get some new faces in, so if you’re applying for the first time this year, we’ll be glad to review your wares and consider you for addition to our line-up.

PLEASE NOTE – *space is very limited* and we are thus pretty selective of who we invite – we like to see new faces, but also love many of the folks we’ve worked with regularly over the years, and we work hard to “curate” a line-up that works well with the convention overall. Please note that by signing up, this does NOT guarantee you a spot.
Also, as we’ve all got actual day jobs, we greatly appreciate your patience in communicating with us. We always strive to get the word out about updates, etc, as soon as we can, and always hope to respond to you all, but we appreciate whatever kindness and patience you can manage if we don’t respond as fast as you’d like. Thank you!
Love, the NecronomiCon Vendor staff – [email protected]
