Vendor FAQ

When is the last day to reserve a vendor spot?

Spots are sold first-come, first-served and are limited. Vendor registration closes one week before the event. We recommend reserving as soon as possible before they sell out.

What does my vendor spot include?

Your package includes your spot inside the vendor area and general access to the event on the day of Chicago Truck Invasion. Vendor packages also include access on Friday, August 21st (mandatory setup day), and you are allowed one vendor vehicle to park inside the event grounds on show day.

Does my vendor space come already set up?

No, this is a space-only rental. You are responsible for your own setup, including a generator or other power source if needed.

Can I share or transfer my vendor space?

No. Vendor spaces are non-transferable and may not be shared or sublet.

What insurance and safety requirements do vendors need to follow?

You are responsible for your own liability insurance and must comply with all event rules, staff instructions, and applicable health and fire safety codes — including proper weighting of any tents or canopies for outdoor wind conditions.

Do I just buy the vendor package, or are there more steps?

For general vendors: buying your package secures your spot. Before the event, we will reach out with setup details and your spot assignment. For food and beverage vendors: filling out the application is not the final reservation — we first review your license and insurance, and once approved we will contact you with next steps.

Do I need a license to sell food?

Yes. Food and beverage vendors must have a valid license and insurance to be considered.

What if I need more bracelets for my staff?

Each space includes a set number of staff tickets based on your vendor tier. If you need more, you can purchase General Admission bracelets for additional staff — they will be allowed to enter through the vendor entrance for early access.

Will I get a welcome flyer posted?

Yes, general vendors who purchase their package and submit their logo two weeks before the event will get a welcome post on Instagram.

Do I get my logo on the official show shirt?

Yes, all vendors who have purchased and submitted their logo two weeks before the event will have their logo on the CTI 26 official show tee.
