The Dealers' Room

The Dealers' Room (also known to some as the Hucksters' Room) is the Worldcon's shopping mall. Some 200 tables laid out with everything you can think of - but especially books. DVDs, comics, prints, clothing. Did we mention the books? Reproduction weaponry. Model kits. Jewellery. Oh yes - and the books. Thousands of them. Tens of thousands, in fact, from dozens of dealers, from rare, second hand and antiquarian to new releases and even pre-releases.

List of Dealers

We will be publishing a first list of confirmed Dealers' Room exhibitors on this website around the end of November 2010, with regular updates thereafter.

Dealers' Room Entry

We are now accepting Dealers' Room bookings. If you are interested in reserving space, we recommend you book in good time, as space is likely to sell out. The first thing to do is to read our initial Dealers Invitation letter. This is available in two formats, for your convenience (identical information is provided in each version):

• As a PDF (best for printing) - available below.

• As a web page - easy to read online.

Please read the letter carefully, even if you are a regular Worldcon exhibitor, as some things may well be different this year.

Once you have read the invitation letter, you can download the Application Form. This is also available below in PDF format; if you would like a Microsoft Word version where you can edit your information in directly (instead of writing by hand on a printed copy of the PDF), you can download one here.

Your signed, completed registration form will need to be returned by postal mail to Joni Brill Dashoff, the Dealers' Room Manager, along with your deposit of $100 per table.

Full information on the available space and payment information can be found in the invitation. letter. Table costs have yet to be finalised, but will be in line with recent Worldcons, and not less than $250 per table for the 5 days. Table staff will also need to be members of the Convention - see our registration information for more details.

For any questions, we can be contacted at dealers@renovationsf.org.
