Dear Friend,

Are you interested in being a Vendor at this year’s International Herb Symposium?  If so, read on…. The Symposium offers an incredible opportunity to network with other herbalists and provides outstanding educational and networking opportunities for herbal enthusiasts around the world. Though emphasis at the Symposium is primarily educational, the Exhibit Hall adds a wonderful dimension to the gathering. It provides both an excellent opportunity for participants to obtain high quality herbal products and a marketplace for herbalists to showcase their products and books.

The following information should answer all of your questions about Exhibitor space.  If you have further questions, call Jeff Carpenter at (802) 888- 7278; email at zackwoods@pshift.com

These spaces are best for those who have live plants for sale.
You must provide your own tent, table and chairs. Inquire if interested.

There are a limited number of vendor spaces with walls behind them. 
If your display would work better with such a space, let us know ASAP and we’ll try to accommodate you.

You are welcome to rent half a vendor space for $95. 
Half spaces require that you share a full booth with another vendor giving each vendor half of a 3’X 8’ table and one chair.
If there’s someone in particular you wish to share your vendor space with, please send in your booth deposit together or let us know when reserving a booth space and we will do our best to accommodate your request.

Because there is limited space, vendor space is available only to registered participants and only for handcrafted items, fabric/clothes, herbs & herbal related products, and books.
All vendors and vendor’s helpers must be registered for the symposium in full. You must send in your registration for the Symposium when signing up for a booth.  If your registration has not been received, your vendor deposit will be returned to you.
