Anime Detour Exhibit Hall Application will be open through September 30, 2026. Please note that Eventeny will "approve" your application, but that does not mean that you have yet been selected for a space. You must pay for your booth in order for a space(s) to be reserved and assigned. Payment request will be emailed around Thanksgiving. These booths are intended for vendors of  branded products that relate to the art and culture surrounding anime and mange, which can include Japanese/Korean/Chinese cultural products. 
In selecting vendors, our jury staff will choose applications that relate to our attendees' interests and that guarantee a variety of products to choose from. We do not allow the sale of unlicensed products or knock-offs. New for this year, we are also not allowing 3D printed items to be sold within Exhibit Hall. They can be provided as free giveaways or incentives. You will automatically be placed on the waiting list if not initially accepted.
All applicants will receive an email regarding their application status before Thanksgiving.

2. Per hotel safety regulations, booths cannot be taller than 12 feet.
