Conditions of Agreement
Madison Vegan Fest reserves the right to accept or decline any application at its discretion.
Each exhibitor must submit an individual application.
Exhibitors are responsible for setup and take-down/removal of their materials.
All food displayed, given away, or advertised must be vegan. Vegan means not tested on animals and containing no animal products: flesh, fat, broth, gelatin, egg, dairy, honey, bone, shell, coral etc. All exhibitors should be able to specify the origin of all product ingredients if/when asked.
All food sold must be packaged and intended for consumption after the fest. For example, jars of hot sauce may be sold by exhibitors, whereas boxed sandwiches may not be sold by exhibitors, as that would unfairly compete with the designated food vendors.
Exhibitors must complete a liability waiver form if selling or sampling food products.
Exhibitors are highly encouraged to use recyclable packaging for food products.
All products sold or given away must be vegan, not tested on animals, and should be as environmentally friendly as possible.
All material displayed or distributed must be free from images and language that may be reasonably viewed as racist, sexist, transphobic, homophobic, ablest, health shaming, and/or body shaming. We reserve the right to exclude other objectionable and/or discriminatory material. If you have a question as to whether something you intend to bring might be objectionable, please check with the organizers beforehand.
Madison Vegan Fest reserves the right to ask an Exhibitor to refrain from selling something or to leave if they do not follow any of the above and the Exhibitor will not be provided a refund. Please ask if you are unsure about something.
Graphic imagery (such as photos of farmed animals being slaughtered) is allowed, but must follow these guidelines: Any graphic imagery that attendees are forced to see is not allowed. If literature has a graphic image on the front page, we ask that it be hidden by a blank piece of paper. Graphic images inside of literature are acceptable and may still be distributed (please specify in the product description). If you have any questions, please contact us. We reserve the right to disallow any graphic imagery that does not fit within these guidelines on the day of the festival.
Photos and video of you and your exhibitor table may be used for outreach, education, marketing, or other purposes.
Cancellations made on or before September 7, 2026 will receive a full refund. Cancellations made after September 7, 2026 will not be refunded. If Madison Vegan Fest declines to accept an exhibitor for any reason any fees paid will be fully refunded.
Madison Vegan Fest will be held rain or shine. If Madison Vegan Fest is canceled due to dangerous weather conditions or other unforeseeable events, a full refund of event fees will be issued.
Should any contingency interrupt or prevent the holding of the Madison Vegan Fest, including but not limited to war, terrorism, extreme weather, or lockouts, the event coordinators and Madison Vegan Fest shall in no way be liable to exhibitors.
Exhibitors agree to make no claim for any reason against event coordinators or the Madison Vegan Fest for theft, damage, or destruction of goods, or for injury to themselves, employees, volunteers, or visitors incurred at the event.
