Vendors

Vendors and dealers will be located in the main cafeteria of Chabot College. The cost for a table at Kin-Yoobi Con is $50. Vendors do not have to pre-register to sell at Kin-Yoobi Con, but there are several advantages to pre-registration. The first is that you guarantee yourself a spot, seeing as there is limited space and all tables might be reserved before the con. Secondly, you can check out a specific place in which you want to be positioned from available spots. And third, you will be listed on our website once registered. This can alert attendees early of your presence and bring in early advertising. To pre-register, please send your email address to iie@gzronline.com. We will than send you an invoice via email promptly. Email payments are credit card only using Paypal. You may also meet with us in person to check out Chabot College to see the location you will be positioned and pay by cash.
