All booth space is on a first come, first served basis. Returning vendors and car related accessory vendors have first priority. If you had a booth in the last KAN show, notify us no later than February if your intent to return. If we have not heard from you by then, your space will be reassigned.
KAN has obtained a special permit for basic electrical service; however, it would be better to bring your own generator. If you need electrical service for your display, check the appropriate box on the exhibit space contract. If you will be requiring power you MUST let the Vendor Coordinator know at time of your application submission. If you fail to let the Vendor Coordinator know ahead of time of your power needs, power will not be able to be provided day of event.
