Vendor Early Bird Registration runs June 1 – September 1, 2026

The Confluence Vendors’ Fair brings together the people, tools, and resources that shape and support the field of printmaking. Attendees can meet various suppliers, publishers, presses, organizations, and creative businesses to discover new materials, programs, and services. The Vendor Fair creates the space for connection and discovery across the SGCI community.

New for Confluence! You asked and we listened! This shorter Vendors’ Fair will allow you to participate more fully in the conference. Our tentative location will provide greater public visibility, likely increasing attendance and sales.

We want you to get the attention you deserve! Presenting your products and/or programming at the Vendors’ Fair will make the event a more dynamic and rewarding event for all. Do you have a new or popular product you want to feature? Do you want to talk about the history of your organization? Do you want to highlight your program to recruit or feature students? We’re here to help bring eyes to you!

We will develop a schedule as the conference approaches so visitors know when to be when you are presenting. Please plan for demos/presentations that are 20 minutes or less.
