Exhibiting at the Vendor Fair and Maker Market

Join us at the MBLGTACC Maker Market and Vendor Fair and reach a captive audience of LGBTQIA+ students and student leaders from around the Midwest.

Maker Market

The Maker Market invites conference attendees and vendors to buy, sell, and trade their creations and participate in makers-stations that may include design-your-own-swag tables, prize giveaways, arts and crafts, skill-share demos, and much more!

This space is intended for queer and trans creators to sell/trade or provide demonstrations on a skill, craft or art form.

Vendor Fair

Organizations at the fair typically seek to promote opportunities, recruit future employees, sell merchandise, or reach out to an amazing group of college students and their advisors. What will your organization do?
