Are you interested in vending at the 16th International Herb Symposium?
The Herbal Emporium
The IHS not only offers an incredible opportunity to network with other herbalists and provides outstanding educational opportunities for herbal enthusiasts from around the world. It also provides a vibrant marketplace for participants to purchase herbal products,
Though the emphasis of the Symposium is primarily educational, the Herbal Emporium adds another wonderful dimension to the gathering. This is a great opportunity for herbal product businesses, herbalists, artisans, and authors to showcase and sell their products, wares, and books.
Space is very limited and booths sell out fast so don’t hesitate. We hope you will join us!

Details for Vendors
The Herbal Emporium is in a large dance studio with mirrored walls and high ceilings. 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 on a first come first serve basis. Electrical power outlets are very limited in the Herbal Emporium and cannot be guaranteed based on booth placements. Wifi is available throughout the building.
- All vendors and their assistants must be registered in full for the Symposium.
- Non-Profit organizations are eligible for free booth spaces. Email if interested.
- FULL BOOTH SPACES are $250.00. A ‘Booth Space’ is a table 8 feet long by 3 feet wide with the table and 2 chairs provided.
- HALF BOOTH SPACES are $150.00. 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 let us know when reserving a booth space and we will do our best to accommodate your request.
- OUTDOOR SPACES are $250.00. These spaces are often offered after the Herbal Emporium booths have sold out. These spaces are approximately 15’x15’ in a grassy common area outside of the Herbal Emporium. Inclement weather can be a factor with outdoor booths so plan accordingly. You must provide your own tent, table and chairs for outdoor vending.
- BOOTH SET-UP TIMES: Thursday evening (6:00 pm – 9:00 pm) or Friday morning (8:00 am -11:00 am) during registration.
- Tables are pre-assigned and will be designated with signs. Please, no switching tables without authorization.
- You will be completely responsible for the setup and cleanup of your booth area, including any boxes and packaging you brought, and will be responsible for the booth during the symposium. Please do not leave boxes, flyers, etc. that others would have to clean up after you. Trash and Recycling will be set up to aid you in your clean up process.
- The herbal emporium will be locked at night, but you will be completely responsible for your merchandise during the day. Generally, people are honest but there have been reports of missing items at gatherings. You may wish to bring a cloth to cover your products when you are not attending the booth. Never leave money unattended at your booth; it just invites problems.
The International Herb Symposium assumes absolutely no responsibility for any lost or stolen items.
