2023 iMagicon Vendor Application - April 28-30 Application Details

Please review information below as our vendor space is filled every year. All applications will be considered on a first come, first serve JURY based decision. Meaning, iMagicon reserves the right to waitlist or decline vendors who do not fit the pop culture theme or has violated vendor agreements from previous years (such as tearing down early without consent/not appearing for a show/etc).

All applications received in the 2022 year have 30 days to make payment to reserve their spot. Any applications received in the 2023 year (aka closer to event time) have 15 days to make payment before forgoing their spot.
