Become a Geek Culture vendor

Welcome, makers, artists & geeky vendors!

Calling all creatives, crafters, and geeky geniuses! If you sell products that celebrate pop culture, fantasy, sci-fi, gaming, or anything in between, you are in the right place.

This application is Step 1 to vend at our events.

Instead of applying for one event at a time, this form gets you pre-approval to join our official, curated vendor database. We use this list to invite vendors (like you!) to all our future events.

Our 3-step vendor process

We believe in transparency. Here is exactly how our process works from start to finish.

1. You Apply (Right Now)

You fill out the application form linked below. This gives us all the info we need to see if your brand is a good fit for our community.

2. We Review 

Our team reviews every single application. We look at your products, your social media, and your overall brand to see how you align with our geeky-themed events.

3. You Get Invited

Once you are pre-approved, you're on the list! As we plan new events, we will send out event-specific invitations by email. You can then let us know if you're available and keen for that particular event.

Who we're looking for

To keep our events curated and exciting, we prioritize vendors who meet the following criteria:
