Captain Billbill Harrison can be reached directly with any pre-show questions by emailing captbillbill1@gmail.com. During the Expo, your vendor coordinator will be Ed Neary whose email is cdjoslin@gmail.com. Both will be your liaison with the host hotel staff and other convention representatives.

Load-in will begin officially at 9:00AM Friday, Feb 10th, 2023, though if the convention is able to get in early for setup on Thursday evening early load-in may be extended to all vendors for as early as 8am Friday morning. If you are arriving from out of town on Thursday night, please notify our vendor coordinators Captain Billbill captbillbill1@gmail.com and Ed Neary cdjoslin@gmail.com that you would like to take advantage of early load-in so that we may be expecting you. ​ Vendor Registration will open concurrently at 9:00AM on Friday, Feb 10th. Vendors are to visit the Vendor Check-in area in the Century Ballroom (as outlined on the vendor map), where you will liaise with Ed Neary. Upon arrival, please check-in here to pick up your passes and welcome packet, and we will direct you to the best door to load in. The Exposition officially opens Friday, Feb 10th, at 4:00pm.

We have the following sizes in vendor spaces: 10x10, 8x10, 8x8, 6x6, and Hallway tables. ​ All booths come with 3 complimentary weekend passes (additional passes can be purchased at a steep vendor-only discount), 3 complimentary Tea Room passes with a special vendor menu, and reduced day/overnight parking of $5 per night. ​ Hallway tables come with 1 complimentary weekend pass (additional passes can be purchased at a steep vendor-only discount), 1 complimentary Tea Room pass with a special vendor menu, and reduced day/overnight parking of $5 per night. ​ The Exposition provides one (1) 6ft table per space and at least 1 chair while supplies last. Extra chairs are supplied on a first come, first served basis. We kindly request you let us know if you will be providing your own table and chairs. All other booth supplies are to be provided by the vendor, and MUST fit inside the dimensions of the space you have purchased. Storage and extra stock may be placed under your table. Please bring table coverings to cover your stock when not at your table or when the vendor hall is closed for the evening.

We provide electrical access free of additional charge upon request, but be advised some restrictions may apply. Not all spaces will have direct access to an outlet, so if you require electricity please plan accordingly. We encourage you to bring your own extension cords and tape to prevent any tripping hazards, and to use battery powered lights when able.

The Century Ballroom and Aetheric Exchange (Decatur Room) will be locked during all off hours for your security. We still recommend covering your tables when you close your booth for the night and secure any high-value items. The Atlanta Steampunk Exposition is not responsible for the safety of your property. Therefore we recommend all cash boxes, POS systems, and any other high-value items be taken with you when you leave for the night. THIS GOES DOUBLE FOR ALL FOYER/HALLWAY TABLES. While all rooms will be locked overnight, hotel guests with keys will still have access to the hallways and foyers. If you have purchased a foyer/hallway table, please ensure that your table is covered each night and that you have secured any valuable items.

Included with your space you will receive 3 full-weekend vendor passes. You do not receive extra vendor passes if you have purchased an additional booth space, so please plan accordingly. If additional passes are required, send us an email and additional passes may be purchased at a discounted rate. ​ Vendor Passes provide access to the event spaces, tea room, and all general admission programming throughout the weekend. They do not include access to events which require an additional fee, such as make-and-take workshops or special VIP events.

The Century Center hotel offers ample parking in front and in back of the hotel for a rate of $5 per night for our vendors only (the normal rate is between $8-$15). When checking in, Exposition representatives will provide you with the information you will need in order to secure your discounted rate. Overflow parking will be available nearby as well. We will have more details on that at a later date.

The hotel has a full menu restaurant and bar, a coffee shop, and convenience store right on the premises. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner services should be available all weekend. Additionally, your Vendor Pass allows you access to our Tea Room, which will be serving a variety of complimentary small plates all weekend as our thank you for vending with us. Your official vendor packet will provide more information on what to expect and how to take advantage of this provision. ​ There is also a variety of restaurants just down the street from the hotel in short walking or driving distance, and the hotel shuttle can be requested to bring you to downtown Brookhaven where even more restaurant options are available. Additional options may be added.

Free wifi is available through the hotel, and cell service for most major carriers is good. Bear in mind that during peak attendance there may be a lot of people accessing the wifi, so if you must have wifi for your business to function we recommend that you have a backup plan in place. Faster wifi service may be available for purchase though the hotel upon request.

Hotel check in is 3:00pm and check out is 12:00pm. Early/late check in/out may be available by contacting the hotel directly. ​ Vendor Hours at present are: Friday, Feb 10th: 4:00pm - 9:00pm Saturday, Feb 11th: 10:00am - 7:00pm Sunday, Feb 12th: 10:00am - 4:00pm (Times may change but any adjustments will be made no later than Jan 10th, 2023) ​ The Hours of the Exposition are: Friday, Feb 10th: 4:00pm – midnight Saturday, Feb 11th: 10:00am – midnight Sunday, Feb 12th: 10:00am – 4:00pm ​ Our hours are designed to ensure vendors have ample time to sell during the event, while allowing time to enjoy our evening programming and have meals. You may set your own hours at your discretion, but be aware that the Century Ballroom and Aetheric Exchange (Decatur Room) will be locked for the overnights. We always leave it up to our vendors as well if they would like us to open the vendor hall earlier on Friday for a "Vendor Preview" if there is interest.
