About the registration

WELCOME TO THE 2026 YOUMACON VENDOR APPLICATION

Youmacon is from October 29th - November 1st, 2026.  

We are looking for convention vendors, artists, Industry reps, and Sponsors to join us for the festivities.  

Since 2005, Youmacon has welcomed a wide variety of vendors and artists from across North America, offering merchandise from around the world to our ever-growing community of attendees. Now attracting over 20,000 unique visitors annually to downtown Detroit, our goal is to provide fans with the best and most diverse product selection of anime, video game, and pop culture.

To ensure the best shopping experiences, Youmacon features a Juried Dealer’s Room. This means vendors are selected based on the types of merchandise they offer. Our jury process helps us maintain a wide variety of goods, avoiding oversaturation of specific categories—such as Gundam models or Beyblades (just examples!)—and giving all vendors a better opportunity to succeed.

About the event

Youmacon is a 4-day convention celebrating Japanese Animation, Gaming, and Pop Culture. Whether you’re a convention pro, or have yet to attend an Anime event, we have just what you’re looking for. Since 2005, Youmacon has been an immersive and innovative event unlike any other.
