Vendor spaces are slightly different for 2022. Rather than "by the table", as in previous years, this year we are selling space "by the booth". The booth choices available are:

1. 8'x8' - comes with 1 6' table
2. 10'x8' - comes with 1 8' table
3. 16'x8' endcap - comes with 2 6' tables (extremely limited # these prime spots are available)

Each space will come with 2 chairs. Vendors receive 2 attendance badges for the weekend regardless of # of spaces purchased - additional weekend passes can be purchased ahead of time or at the door.

VENDOR SPACE IS ASSIGNED ON A FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE BASIS. WE ARE USUALLY *NOT* ABLE TO ACCOMODATE SPECIAL REQUESTS FOR PLACEMENT.

If you require additional vendor badges beyond the ones included with your space, you will need to purchase them at a discounted rate of $20/person (covers both days).

Electricity for vendors is an additional $65 and can be purchased below.

Wi-Fi access for vendors is an additional $20 and can be purchased below. Wi-Fi code can be obtained from the registration booth.

We are offering a special deal for Artists, Crafters, and Game Developers! Booths for Artists and Game Developers will receive a $50 discount off the listed booth price, regardless of booth size chosen.

All Artists or Game Developers are required to submit a link in the form below to an online sample of the works you will have available at RetroGameCon. (a link to store website, facebook page, etsy store, online gallery, etc.)

Payment is through PayPal only. You are able to use a credit card to pay the invoice through PayPal. Please submit your registered PayPal e-mail address in the form below and you will receive a PayPal invoice within 3 days of approval of your application. NOTE: PAYMENT IS DUE WITHIN 10 DAYS AFTER RECEIVING YOUR INVOICE, OR YOUR SPACE WILL BE FORFEITED.

Please be aware that your spot is not reserved until your application has been approved and payment has been recorded.

Every year, we raise money for our local Children's Miracle Network Hospital, the Upstate Golisano Children's Hospital. These funds are raised via the Extra Life charity through raffles at RetroGameCon. We rely on our vendors to help us fill the raffle baskets and raise money for the kids. If you have something you'd like to donate towards our raffles, we would greatly appreciate it and will be sure to thank you / your store on our social media. We donate 100% of proceeds from these raffles. At the last RetroGameCon, we raised $14,000 for charity!

If you have something you'd like to donate, please mail it to:

RetroGameCon c/o Patrick Milligan
8426 Sweetmill Lane
Clay, NY 13041

Make sure to attach a note letting us know who the donation is from, so we can properly thank you on our social media.

You may also drop off a donation during set-up time at the show, and we'll be sure to place it into one of the raffle baskets. Feel free to include business cards!
