Vendors FAQ

You don’t need a registered business to become a Vendor. Although you need to remember that as a seller you are obligated to abide law regulations (especially tax and economic activity regulations).

When you are a person without registered business, we cannot settle your stall charges with barter.

The pricelist is available here.

After discussing all the details concerning the stand and advertising, you will receive an agreement in a pdf form via e-mail. You have to verify very carefully whether all personal and stand data are correct. Should you have any objections, please contact the Manager. If everything is in order, please print two copies of the agreement, sign it and send it to:

Pyrkon – Klub Fantastyki Druga Era
ul. Słowackiego 13/116
60-822 Poznań
(for your own safety, we recommend using registered mail with acknowledgement of the receipt.)

We will send you back one copy signed by the Manager via registered mail with the acknowledgement of the receipt. We send it in max. 10 days after we receive it, together with VAT invoice for you.
Within the time limit specified in the agreement, you will make a bank transfer to the Association’s bank account.

Yes you can. However, leave it in designated parking spaces only and follow the PIF employees’ instructions.

The net price is a price without VAT. For the full price you need to add 23% VAT.
So for the easy counting: stall’s net price*1,23 = gross price.

Vendor pays for their stand by bank transfer. There is a possibility to settle a part of charge through barter. The amount of barter is agreed with each Vendor individually, but the value cannot be higher than 30% of a whole stall price.

The payment must be settled within the time limit outlined, on an individual basis, in a Vendor’s agreement. More information will be available soon.

No. To ensure diversity of assortment in the mini zone we will not agree to sell two stands by the same Vendor. If you would like to have a bigger stand, we encourage you to rent a standard stall.

There is one pass in the price of mini stand and two passes for mini premium. For each stand you can buy one additional pass.

The access to mini stands will be given on Friday May 18th at 9:00. Earlier the mini zone will not be open for Vendors.

For a mini stands you can add a chair, but you can’t have another table.

According to the agreement, the stands can be closed on Sunday at 16:00.

A jib is a two meter pole that is a piece of fair built up walls. They stand every 1,5 meter so they will be located between mini stands. At mini premium stands there will be jibs on each side and in the middle of the stall.

Yes. You ought to make sure, however, not to destroy the built up walls – cost of repair is covered by the Vendor.

Yes, but please agree that first with Vendor’s Assistant.

Our tables are 120 cm long and 45 cm wide.

No. If you want to have electric current at your stand you need to contact your Vendor’s Assistant. This service is delivered by PIF and valuated individually.

A built-up stand is a stand with 3 Octanorm-type walls – white, thin and rigid. Should a Vendor wish to remove one of the walls, they may do so (for instance to combine stands with a neighbor) but it bears no influence on the price of the stand. We encourage you to prepare sticker or other decorations to stuck onto the wall – this kind of service is offered by company that provides the walls. If you are interested in a built-up stand please contact your Vendor’s Assistant.

Yes, feel free to put up book-cases, mannequins and racks within the limits of your stand. You should make sure, however, that your equipment doesn’t extend beyond your stand space and that it doesn’t pose any safety threat (your equipment should be stable and stay off the passageways).

You may lay your own carpet or floor-covering at your stand. However, it is forbidden to bring powdery materials like sand – it causes a lot of mess in the hall.

Yes, but it must not exceed the stand space.

According to the stand type there are two ways of reserving a place:

• There is a hall map with sectors in the file attached to application form. Please choose three sectors (in preferable order) and the preferred type (in line, corner, etc). That will help us admit you appropriate place for your stall. Your Vendor’s Assistant will send you the information about reserved place within two weeks after the turn.
• After you submit an application you will be contacted by Manager (that refers to Mini Zone, Indie Zone and Video Games Zone).

Reservation agreed with Manager is made for 30 days If you don’t sign an agreement in this term, the reservation is gone.

After closing the exhibition hall to the Convention participants and leaving it by the Vendors, the hall will be closed by a committee and opened the next day. Your presence at the stand is required during the opening hours.

No, Pyrkon volunteers cannot help in putting up the stands. You need to do it on your own.

Vendors who have a stand can give out leaflets, place roll-ups, banners, posters, within its area. Outside of the stand it is allowed only after prior agreement with the Vendor’s Assistant (extra fee and only in places designated by the Organizer).

There is a possibility to post about a Vendor – but we reserve it for the biggest contractors – if you are interested, please contact your Vendor’s Assistant. We don’t post a simple information – the post needs to engage our fans and give something to the participants, like promotion, contest or discount. Detailed info about conditions and costs of that advertisement can be given by your Vendor’s Assistant.

The value and detailed list of barter is proposed by Pyrkon and with your approval added as an attachment to the agreement. We settle all the details before signing of the agreement and only after signing it is possible to send us the barter.

Barter (as well as all other packages sent to Pyrkon) must be labeled in according to pattern sent to you by the Organizer.

A package must contain a list of all merchandise sent in the package with their values. The same list has to be sent to the Organizer via email before sending the package. Barter needs to be sent in time agreed individually with your Vendor’s Assistant.

You can send both stands elements and merchandise. Details will be posted on website in April.
