Vendor and Artist Registration Has Been Re-Opened For No Brand Con XIX!

We’re moving along at full steam for No Brand Con 2022, and we’re happy to announce that we’ve now reopened Vendor and Artist Registration for No Brand Con 2022. Registration is open until December 1st 2021, and you can find instructions for both our Vendor Room and Artist Alley on our Vendors and Artists Page.

As always this is a juried selection process, so not all applicants will be accepted. Additionally spots are limited as many of our scheduled vendors and artists rolled over their registrations from 2020. If you are someone who had a rolled over table and have not heard from us about 2022, please make sure you reach out to either our vendor or artist alley departments to make sure we take care of you.

We’re really excited to see you all this spring!

No Brand Con 2022 Staff and COVID19

So one of the largest challenges to running an event in the current world is instituting effective COVID19 safety policies. To be frank and let you in behind the curtain a little bit, we’re still deciding on what our final policies will be. Our policies for vendors, artists and attendees will likely be affected by the current state of the world along with the available preventative measures.

What we have decided though is that we will be requiring that all onsite staff and volunteers for No Brand Con 2022 are vaccinated. We want to be sure that you feel safe interacting with anyone working our event, and we think this is an important part of that. We know that will exclude some people who can’t be vaccinated from working the event, but frankly we don’t think we could safely operate our event without making this decision. We’re confirming vaccination with staff pre-event, and any volunteers will be asked to provide proof of vaccination to our staff – either by sending appropriate proof ahead of time, or at-con for those volunteering last minute.

We will, of course, continue to provide updates as the event grows closer about the rest of our COVID19 policies. The safety of our attendees is always our highest priority, and we hope you understand that any limitations we enact are there to make sure we can run a fun, inperson event.
