NAB Weekend Vendor Application

NAB Weekend Vendor Application

February 12-15, 2026 | Lexington, Kentucky
NAB Weekend is excited that you have expressed interest in vending at our 14th annual event in February 2026 in Lexington, KY. As our attendance continues to grow, so do our requests for Vendor Booths. Applications will be reviewed by our producers and vendors will be selected based on product categories that fit the needs of our event. It is our goal not to "over-saturate" our market with too many vendors selling like items. We reserve the right to deny applications based on this criteria.

Please complete the form below. Once your application has been approved, you will be contacted to make payment arrangements to secure your booth space, and provide registration details for you and your helper(s), if applicable.

One Standard All-Weekend Pass is included with each Vendor Booth Purchase. You may purchase (1) additional "Standard Pass" at half price per booth space purchased. You can enter your requests for "helper passes" on the form below.
