• Vendors passes do not include the full-weekend event pass!!!  
• Vendors may also purchase up to two Paradigm Symposium full-weekend passes for $175 each. Each pass after that will be full-price. 
* Purchasing a full-weekend pass is NOT required in order to have a vendor space.
• If you do not have a full-weekend pass, you will only be given access to the vendor room and not the rest of the Symposium.  

If you choose to order a full-weekend pass through your vendor registration, please make sure you enter ONLY ONE person's name per vendor table purchased. The pass will be the same as any other full-weekend pass and will be picked up at the registration table.

Paradigm Symposium Event Vendor Policies
Paradigm Symposium must set and enforce certain policies and standards for Vendors in order to ensure a safe and equitable environment for all participants.

General Rules

1. Absolutely no selling or solicitation is to take place outside of rented booth spaces. No vendor may expand his/her display beyond the boundaries of their rented space. 

2. Authorized vendor representatives must staff booths during all exhibit hours. Vendor may not arrive to set up after the vendor room/festival has opened, or begin to tear down and/or leave early, unless specific prior consent has been granted by the Vendor Coordinator. 

3. Materials such as handbills or fliers may only be distributed within the Vendor’s booth or at the Community Table, if the event has one. 

4. No vendor or agent of a vendor may promote, display, or behave in a manner considered offensive or distasteful as determined by Paradigm Symposium. Examples include promoting racism, gender bias, religious bias, etc.

5. All vendors must comply with, and be bound by, all laws, ordinances, and regulations of the country, state, county, city, facility, and, if applicable, police and fire departments.

6. Banners, signs, and displays may not cause damage to facility property. Vendors are responsible for removal of their own signage, and for returning the walls to their previous condition. Vendor is responsible for removing signage and any necessary cleanup of signage materials upon close of the festival.

7. No one will be allowed in the Vendor Room during closed hours, except authorized Paradigm Symposium staff. All needed items and valuables must be taken before the room closes for the evening. Exhibitors may stay no more than 30 minutes after the Vendor Room closes without the permission of the Vendor Coordinator (not including end of event tear down). 

8.Vendors must make known any additional needs for tables, electricity or wireless internet at the time of their registration and pay any fees associated with those requests also at that time. If those requests are not made in advance, they may not be able to be accommodated and the vendor will receive no refunds or considerations in that case.
