Exhibitor / Vendor / Artist Updates

We have two great weekends planned for you to share your wares with Pop Culture Crowds. We are excited to share more information with those of you who have already signed up for one or both shows and hope that anyone who has not signed up yet will join us soon.

PopCon Indy
We are excited to be back for our 12th year. We are back at the Indianapolis Convention Center and have a lot of great events planned. We have been expanding our marketing, creating new experiences for fans so they have more reasons to come back for multiple days and continue to look for ways to improve their engagement on the show floor like bringing back the free trading cards. We hope to see you all back June 27 – 29 2025

PopCon Louisville
We are excited to partner with Louisville Tourism and the Convention Center staff to bring our second annual Pop Culture convention to town. In our first year we have had a lot of great feedback from the local community that have us excited to be a long term partner. We have an exciting new date and space at the Kentucky International Convention Center August 23 – 25, 2024.

Discount for Both Shows

We want to continue to grow with our exhibitors, vendors, artists and creators. We feel you are so much a part of our fans experience and our success that we want to see you at both shows. Right now we are offering discounts including $50 per each 10×10 and $25 per each table. If you don’t have space already then here is vendor application page: https://popcon.us/vendorapp/

Expanded Marketing

As we have grown into the Louisville market and hit our 11th year we are looking to expand our outreach in both areas. We are committing significantly more resources than we have in the past to help grow our shows to new fans and give you more people to share your passions, creation and awesome stuff with. We are excited to see how these new partnerships and resources help improve our support of you.

Great Guests

We have some great guests lined up for both locations with more to come. We are promoting early and often and have more guest that will still be shared to keep our fans interest and engaged leading up to the show.

If you want to see who we have then you can check out our announced Louisville guest here – https://popcon.us/popcon-louisville/. And our Indy guests here – https://popcon.us/popcon-indy/

We have tried to find some good options for you at both shows and have lined up special offers to help make this part of your convention easier if you need it. These blocks will fill up very quickly, so do not delay.

PopCon Show Addresses

PopCon Louisville (Kentucky International Convention Center, 221 S 4th St, Louisville, KY 40202 on the dates August 23 – 25) and PopCon Indy (Indiana Convention Center, 100 S Capitol, Indianapolis IN 46225 on the dates April 26-28). Thanks to a vendor who asked for the info we realized that we had not officially shared it in a past newsletter. Let us know if you need or want anything else.

Free PopCon Trading Cards Return Update!

We have gotten some good submissions but are looking for more, particularly ones that highlight PopCon, PopCon activities and guests at one of the shows. Some suggestions include Laser Tag, Escape Room, Podcast Awards, Cosplay, Secret Games, VR, Board Games, Art, Movies, Magic Shows, Kids Zone, etc. If you missed it or just joined we are going to give out free PopCon Trading Cards again and you have a chance to be a part of the action. Submit your art and you will have the chance to get free trading cards with your art to give out at your booth. Our fans can go through the hall on a scavenger hunt of sorts to try and collect them all. We are excited to bring this back to help engage more people at the show and keep them on the floor. The cards are printed 2.5″ by 3.5″. The art will be positioned in a 2.5″ by 2.5″ position above the text, so that is the art size. The art can be transparent or include a background. All submissions and questions should go to holly@popcon.us before the July 15th Deadline. The number of unique cards is limited and not everyone can be chosen that submits.

Kids Zone Stage Opportunity

There will be a new program feature this year were we will have mini-panels and workshops in the Kids Zone area at both shows. If you would have an interest in promoting something that is kid friendly; toy, program, story, art project, game, or any other activity you can think of let us know and we will share with the Kids Zone manager can add you for one of the 20 to 25 time slots.

Parting Words

As always thank you for being an important part of PopCon and helping our fans have a great experience! You have been an important part of our success and growth and we look forward to growing with you for years to come! Please let us know if you have questions or need anything from us!
