Mar 15: Vendor's SOLD OUT!!!

Full refunds by check will only be issued up to midnight, July 19, 2009 IF we resell the tables. No refunds after midnight, July 19, 2009

IPMS Columbus is pleased to announce that the vendor's area is now COMPLETELY SOLD OUT!!! Yes, the world's largest hobby shop (2009 edition) will be fully stocked with vendors from all over the world. Be sure to spend lots of time there! Jason Holt, our vendor chairman, is maintaining a waiting list in case some tables become available, but I wouldn't hold your breath!

The vendor area will span four massive halls with free passage between them; every vendor will have great opportunities for display! Obviously there will always be some premium locations that tend to book first -- so it is not too early to submit your reservation as soon as possible.

Local Sales Permit Required

IT IS THE VENDOR'S RESPONSIBILITY TO OBTAIN AN OHIO TRANSIENT VENDOR'S LICENSE THROUGH THE STATE OF OHIO ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE PRIOR TO THE SHOW. An application for the license is available here.
