Industry Membership Policy and Application

Partner Table Row

Partner Tables are available as a low- or no-cost option for cultural groups, fan groups, conventions and events, and local organizations that wish to partner with Kumoricon for promotional purposes.

Sponsorship

Moving towards our largest event yet, we greatly value our previous sponsors' continued support, and the new relationships we hope to build with new sponsors and advertisers. Please visit our Sponsorship and Advertisement page for opportunities.

Charity Auction

Kumoricon has a long history of giving back to our local community. Since 2005, Kumoricon has hosted a Charity Auction benefiting a local charity. In 2016, we donated over $4,000 to OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital. OHSU Doernbecher is recognized as one of America's leading children's hospitals, providing more specialists than anywhere else in Oregon, a kid-friendly environment, and family focused care. We are honored to make OHSU Doernbecher our charity recipient for our 2017 Charity Auction.

We invite businesses, industry, and individuals looking to provide contributions for our charity auction to visit out our Charity Auction Contribution Form for more information.

Exhibits Hall

Retailers and other dealers selling a wide range of goods can participate in our Exhibits Hall.

Artist Alley

Freelance artists selling their personal works within the convention can apply to participate in our Artist Alley.

Small Press

The Kumoricon Small Press welcomes freelance artists and creators by providing space to sell their personal works at the convention. Small Press is defined as independently-developed businesses that do not feature fan art. This includes companies that focus on fashion apparel, tabletop games, web comics, or plushies.
