Zenkaikon Dealer Registration
The Dealers Room will be in Hall D of the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center and will be open both days of the 2012 convention.
Policy Highlights
In response to complaints received after the 2011 Zenkaikon convention, we have enhanced and expanded our policies related to certain goods.
Bootlegs
Bootleg goods are about far more than CDs and DVDs. Wall scrolls, plushies, and figurines are all examples of goods which are highly susceptible to illegal copies. You are responsible for making sure you are carrying only goods which are properly licensed in the United States.
Just because an item is legal in another country such as Taiwan does NOT mean it is legal to sell in the United States.
Used Goods
You may sell used goods but they must be labeled as such. Packaging items to try to conceal the fact they are used and not affirmatively revealing their used status is a potential violation of Pennsylvania consumer protection law and will not be tolerated.
Contact Lenses
Contact lenses are medical devices regulated by the FDA, regardless of whether they are plano or corrective. Since it’s unlikely a vendor can follow proper dispensing procedures in the context of a dealers room, contact lenses may not be sold at Zenkaikon.
Food
Our venue, the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center, must pre-approve all food items to be sold in the Dealers Room. Dealers will be allowed to sell only items not carried by the venue’s own food vendors.
How to Register
Please be sure to read through our full Dealers Room contract. The procedure to request space is
- Complete the Dealer Space Request Form
- Receive confirmation and invoice via email
- Pay invoice by the stated deadline using check, money order, or PayPal as instructed on the invoice
- Failure to pay your invoice by the stated deadline will result in forfeiting the requested space
We do not expect to increase the number of dealer booths available for 2012 over what we allocated in 2011 due to space constraints.
Any questions or concerns may be emailed to dealers@zenkaikon.com.
