This year we are excited to announce that we will be at Robinson Park in American Fork on May 9th. 

Vendor Load in will begin at 3:00 pm on May 9th and we will open to the public at 4:00 pm until 7:00 pm. 

Booth space is 10x10 feet, you are responsible for everything: tables, displays, racks, chairs, signage, etc.

Rules:

1. Please try and bring a canopy; you are outside in May. It has rained almost every year for just a brief time.

2. Adults are great clients but not great assistants. This event is designed for teens who are turning into entrepreneurs. It is not an event for family businesses where the kids and parents work together. We will have multiple business teachers walking through the expo constantly to offer support, ideas, and training. We aim to create a safe space where teens do not need their parents to help them run anything. If the whole family is running a project, this may not be the right expo for that particular business.

3. Electricity: Yes, but it's availability is extremely limited.

4. You cannot request booths. We will use a first-come, first-served mentality for booth location.

5. Need to bring: Tables, Displays, Signs, Prices labels, Markers to change prices, Pen, Tape, Scissors, Extra paper, Decorations, way to facilitate transactions, a way to track traffic (people you talked to), track sales (number sold & how many were multiple product sales - customer bought more than one item), and MAYBE a chair (you will definitely sale more if you are standing up), and of course something to sell or advertise. 

6. Please avoid having multiple people from your firm/group filling out the survey. Choose ONE person to reserve your booth to ensure an accurate count of requested booths.

7. Money: You keep it. This is run by teachers in the Alpine School District, but we have been inviting many different schools and districts from the beginning. Every district has a different policy. You need to operate your own point of sale, and you can choose any platform - website, cash, barter system that you feel is the right choice for your business. There is no onsite Wi-Fi, you will need to have cellular data or a hotspot. 

8. Load-in at begins at 3 pm that day. We are providing one hour to set up. If you feel that your booth cannot be operational in that time frame, please contact us to make different arrangements. Doors open to the public at 4 pm.

9. Once you sell out, we suggest that you stay and take orders for more of your amazing product. If a few people leave, that's okay, but we want a full expo for clients arriving all the way up to 7 pm. You are expected to completely clean up your space from 7-8 pm. This includes trash, trash bags, brooms for dirt, rags for spills (inside events), and garbage.

10. Advertising: As part of this opportunity to run your business, you get the stress of getting people to find your store. Your circle of influence both in real life and online is the way you get foot traffic. We all have to ask people to come to the expo. Please use the content you will be getting once you register and post it everywhere.

I'm sure you have questions. Ask us - there's a place in the registration to ask questions. Make sure to provide an email that will let us send more info and tools to you.

Please do not use a canopy; you are inside in December. If you NEED to use a canopy, you must have a fire extinguisher at your booth since the canopy would block the sprinkler system if it went off for any reason.
