VENDOR AND ARTIST REGISTRATION
VENDOR REGISTRATION: OPEN
ARTIST ALLEY REGISTRATION: CLOSED
Please note*
While Artist Alley is Sold Out, you can still apply to be added to the waitlist. Artists are also welcome to apply for vendor spaces.
Vendor Registration will remain open until every vendor payment is received.
Spaces will open up if a Vendor does not submit their space payment within the allotted time.
Thank you for considering Anime San Diego 2026!
We are thrilled to launch our very first year at the San Diego Convention Center, and we could not be more excited to welcome vendors, artists, and exhibitors to this brand-new event.
For those of you returning from our other conventions, welcome back! We are incredibly grateful for your continued support and excited to bring this new show to San Diego.
If you would like to apply as a Vendor, Artist, or Exhibitor, please fill out the application by clicking the button below marked “APPLICATION.” You will need to download it, read it carefully, and fill it out completely.
Once completed, please email your application to [support@animesandiego.com] with the subject line “Anime San Diego 2026 Vendor Application.”
Please note that Anime San Diego has an important difference from some of our other events: drayage. Because the San Diego Convention Center is a union convention center, there may be additional costs associated with hauling merchandise, displays, booth materials, or other items into the exhibit hall.
Vendors may be able to avoid drayage costs by hand-carrying their own items, but there are specific rules and restrictions that must be followed. More information about this process is available in the application form, and we strongly encourage every vendor, artist, and exhibitor to review it carefully before applying.
We ask our Vendors, Artists, and Exhibitors to choose their own spaces.
To view the updated floor plan with available spaces to choose from, please click the button below named “FLOOR PLAN” and choose 4 or more spaces in case your first choice is taken.
Vendors and Exhibitors are allowed to combine multiple spaces.
Artist Alley applicants are limited to a single space in Artist Alley.
Please allow up to 1–14 days to receive a response regarding your application.
Due to the high volume of applications received, we may not be able to notify every applicant regarding the status of their application.
You can revisit this page to see if the Vendor Hall or Artist Alley is sold out.
