Last Exhibitor Spaces for CampbellCon 2016 Up for Grabs!
Posted on May 26th, 2016 by Downtown Campbell
Urgent message for Exhibitors, Vendors, and Creators. Campbell Con literally has one large table available, and five creator tables. Large table is good for comic shops, toys, Exhibitors ect. We are posting this because last year we had pages and pages of waiting lists and we want to give people ample warning and an opportunity to be part of Campbell Con 2016. We feel that it is important to let everyone know so there is no surprises when the convention sells out and opportunity lost for those who did not act in time. Get on board while you can and we look forward to seeing everyone.
