NEXCON 2026 is accepting applications for four highly curated 10×10 specialty vendor booths. This showcase is intended for independent creators, builders and businesses offering gaming-focused products such as:

• Custom gaming controllers and controller shells
• Fight sticks and leverless controllers
• Arcade buttons, parts and accessories
• Controller stands and custom console accessories
• Gaming peripherals and tournament equipment
• Edge-lit acrylic or plexiglass artwork

NEXCON takes place November 14–15, 2026, at the Cleveland County Event Center in Norman, Oklahoma. Vendor setup will take place Friday, November 13. Projected weekend attendance is approximately 1,000–1,500 people.

Only four spaces are available. Applications will be reviewed based on event fit, product quality, originality, display presentation and product-category variety. Submission does not guarantee acceptance.

There is no charge to apply. Approved vendors will receive a $500 booth-deposit invoice. Non-food vendors keep 100% of their merchandise sales and are not subject to the venue’s food-vendor percentage.

The $500 deposit may be refunded after NEXCON if the vendor brings at least 10 verified attendees who purchase $50 early-bird weekend passes through the vendor’s assigned tracking link or code and check in at the convention.

This application is not intended for food vendors, general resale-only merchandise or standard Artist Alley tables.
