To apply to become a Vendor at Kinky Kollege or any of our future events, please email your name, company name, description of the merchadise you sell and a url link to your website to: EventChair@kinkykollege.com.
At this time, we are accepting applications for the 2010 Kinky Kollege Marketplace.
We try to give our guests a wide variety of vendors selling different merchadise so we don't wind up with 10 vendors all selling floggers, so your position on our waiting list may be changed because we want what you sell.
Your event badge must be worn at all times. Please do not forget it in your hotel room or your vendor space. You will not be admitted to the convention area, classrooms or play space without it.
Please email your website Banner to us for inclusion on the Kinky Kollege Website to EventChair@kinkykollege.com
We would also appreciate you placing one of our banners on your website and link to: http://www.kinkykollege.com

Leather SINS has negotiated a fantastic Meal Package at the Host Hotel.
WE STRONGLY SUGGEST YOU PURCHASE THIS MEAL PLAN BECAUSE:
-
There is limited break time for meals.
-
There are few restaurants in the immediate area.
-
You will be eating in a private Dining Room just steps away off the lobby & convention area
-
You will be eating with fellow event participants only. (No "vanilla" walk-ins)
-
Our Guests taking this Meal Plan will be given priority service
-
The Hotel has promised to get us in and out of the dining room within our time restraints.
-
The food is great.
-
The service is wonderful.

Spending your money in the Host Hotel (as opposed to leaving the building) allows them to keep the prices for this event low and makes us a valued customer to them, wanting us to return in the future.
