Join us as a vendor for anime St. Pete 2025!

With exclusive vendor perks and a passionate fanbase that’s grown year after year, Anime St. Pete is becoming one of Florida’s favorite anime conventions. As we head into our 4th year, we’re leveling up—with an expanded guest lineup and vendor-focused benefits designed to make your weekend smooth, successful, and full of energy.

Also, learn more about our Vendor Perks at the bottom of this blog- our vendors get things you literally cannot find anywhere else! And as a reminder, parking is free, and move-in/move-out is easy-peasy. 

We are sold-out of artist booths, and nearly sold-out of retailer booths, with only a few remaining (note, artists can share a retailer booth). And we’re opening up our premium Alcove spaces- something special we’ve carved for vendors who need more than a standard booth. Learn more about both and apply below.

🛍️retailer booths

Retailer Booths are ideal for most vendors selling products like anime merch, comics, collectibles, art prints, fashion, accessories, and more. And due to vendor upgrades, a limited number of regular booths are now available again. And artists can share a retailer booth- register under one company name and later you can add both to the marketing materials and shopping guide. Apply today while supplies last.

✨Premium Alcove Spaces

We’ve created a premium option for vendors whose setup and/or customer experience goes beyond what a standard booth can offer- space designed for deeper customer engagement and immersion.

Our Alcove Spaces are 15×15 premium rooms positioned along the perimeter of the venue — the same spaces used for celebrity guests like voice actors and comic creators. Located where fans gather for autographs and photos, these spaces benefit from constant foot traffic and high visibility. Photos below show the room/location (note, each room has privacy doors, too). This year, we’re making two of these alcoves available to select vendors.

And in addition to the phenomenal Vendor Perks below, we’ll supporting the Alcove Spaces with signage, and inclusion in the alcove blog features and social media promotion.

Alcoves are ideal for:

  • Vendors with strong guest-fandom tie-ins: Vendors that are selling merch directly related to our guests (click her for guest listing). An example, our Monster High doll vendor is placed directly next to our guest Monster High creator Garrett Sander — putting the vendor not only in a high-traffic location, but directly in front of fans already excited about the guest. It’s not just visibility — it’s intentional, targeted placement.
  • Giveaway vendors: An alcove is an ideal space for giveaways like free samples, swag, or promo items. It’s a setting that supports interaction and brand connection, not just sales.
  • Vendors launching new product lines / promoting brands: This is the perfect setting for vendors launching new products or promoting emerging brands. It provides space for focused conversations and product demos.
  • Fan “Experience” vendors The alcove is a great fit for fan experience vendors who offer interactive activities like DIY merch kits or build-your-own boxes. It gives attendees room to slow down, engage more deeply, and walk away with a memorable experience.
  • Live sketch commission artists: Artists can create a personalized, interactive experience that draws fans in to watch their art come to life. Attendees can engage directly, linger, and appreciate the creative process As many as 3 artists could share this space.

💰 Pricing:

  • Same as two corner booths — $750 (+ tax/processing)

we incentivize attendees to spend more with vendors

Our Fandom Shopping Rewards program was a major success this year, incentivizing attendees to spend more and get an amazing bargain. Here is how it works: Attendees who spend $50 with our vendors earn a free single-day pass to St. Pete Comic Con 2026 (another event we run), while those who spend $75 with vendors receive a free weekend pass. This is a great way to engage with shoppers as they browse, encouraging them to spend more to earn more St. Pete Comic Con 2026 tickets.

vendor Con Map Profile

Every vendor gets a Con Map Profile, a dedicated space on our event website where you can showcase your business with photos, videos, and social media links. And Alcoves have larger presence. Our Con Map gets a ton of traffic from attendees planning their shopping route—especially since it’s located alongside the event schedule that fans visit frequently before and during the con.

boost sales with guest-merch connections

Fans who are excited to meet our guests are also eager to find related merch—and Guest-Merch Connections directs them to your booth in a couple of ways after seeing their favorite characters come to life. 

First, the shopping guide will be searchable by character, allowing attendees to see the vendors who are offering guest-related merch and art. 

Second, we’ll provide you with customizable social media graphics and reels themed around guest characters and shows, so you can highlight any merchandise you carry that’s connected to our lineup. For example, if you sell Zelda-inspired art or accessories, you can use our Revali-themed template (character voiced by guest Sean Chiplock) to show off your items and attract fans of the franchise.
