We are looking for:

  • Applicants/organizers who have a membership to Norwescon and who will staff the table for the duration of the convention.
  • Applicants/organizers who conduct their business with the convention in a pleasant and professional manner.
  • Clubs, groups, conventions, and organizations that are willing to have their members volunteer for a few hours at the convention would be appreciated.

Fees

  • Clubs, groups, conventions, and organizations that promote science, science fiction, fantasy, costuming, and other fannish pursuits are the heart and soul of our geeky culture, so we do not charge for the tables.
  • However, each person staffing a fan table must be registered with the convention and wear their Norwescon membership badge.

Club/Fan Table Facts

  • We provide 6′ tables and two (2) chairs.
  • Power may be available at some tables; please contact the club table liaison in advance with your power needs.
  • Because table space is limited, display items should fit on the table top or behind the table. Please contact the club table liaison if you have concerns about available space. We may be able to find a location that suits your needs.
  • No goods or services may be sold at the tables with the following exceptions:
    • Memberships
    • Club, convention, or organization publications

    • Raffles and membership drawings
  • With permission of the club table liaison, assigned table space may be shared with other fannish groups. Tables cannot be sold or sublet.
  • Prepare to staff your table space throughout the convention. Table space will be set and ready for you at around noon Thursday through 3:00 p.m. Sunday. Expect to staff tables until 5:00 p.m. on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Tables may be removed after 5:00 p.m. to accommodate convention programming or social events.

  • The priority deadline for club table requests is Dec. 21st, 2018. After the deadline, tables are reviewed on a case-by-case basis.
