2023 Vendor Opportunities
We are offering our vendors a great deal this year. $150.00 for a vendor space. YES only $150. With our
location at the Hampton Roads Convention Center we expect a large weekend crowd at the holiday end of the year. VAOBA welcomes all
vendors, those strictly retail and others organized for wholesale possibilities, especially those who support the
alpaca industry and provide services or products alpaca-related. We will have alpaca exhibitors from everywhere
and many spectators who are eager to learn more about alpaca. And everybody can be expected to be open to a
little holiday shopping!
We take our vendors and their needs very seriously - our vendor manager this year is
Donna Higgason, [email protected] 804-366-6926.
Set up / Tear down. Set up is Friday, November 17th, beginning as early as you need. Tear down is when the show officially ends on Sunday, November 19th.
Pricing. $150 per 10x10 space. Additional space $125 each. Tables for rent $12.00 each; chairs $5.00 each. Pricing includes electric. A business card ad in our beautiful show program is $25 (lower price than for others)
Special Arrangements. Some vendors may wish to do more and sponsor a particular class, championship, event, or part of the shows. Visit the stalling page on the registration for sponsorship opportunities! Corporate sponsorships include first space, half page color ad and more! Great way to gain more recognition.
No Live Animals. No live animals – including but not limited to guardian livestock dogs, llamas, donkeys, cute rabbits, etc. - are allowed at the Venue. You may bring pictures and literature advertising same but no actual animals.
Space. Vendors will appear at the Concession end of the Convention Center in Hall C. Within reason, we are determined to work with all vendors to ensure welcome placement.
Taxes and Insurance. Vendors are responsible for their own insurance and for collecting and paying State and local taxes as required by law.
Additional Promotion. All vendors will be recognized in the show catalog and business card ads if selected on your registration. Your business name and link to your website will be displayed on the show website immediately.
