    If you would like to vend at the GAC Worship and Arts Conference, please fill out the form below.
  • Thank you for your interest in serving as a vendor in Marketplace Ministry (MPM) at The Greater Allen A.M.E. Cathedral of New York’s (GAC) 2026 Worship & Arts Conference, to be held at 110-31 Floyd H Flake (Merrick) Blvd., Jamaica, New York, July 22nd – July 25th, 2026. We would like to offer you one of four package options to choose from.

    The following will give you a sense of our audience for the Worship Conference. We are expecting more participants to gather from all over the United States and the world. Attendees will represent many churches, various denominations, and cultures. This Conference is going to be three days of continual worship, and MPMs are eligible to stay at the conference hotels for the conference, whether they are traveling from nearby or a distance.

    Vendor spots will be limited, and vendor priority will be given to those who provide Ministry-related products. The location of MPM will be varied, covering the main level and lower level of the Cathedral. A table and 1-2 chairs will be provided according to the package chosen by the exhibitor. We ask that you bring your own tablecloths and covering to drape over the table when workshops and services are in progress. The tables are unsecured. Although the doors of the Church will be locked, it is the responsibility of the MPM Vendor to secure their products overnight. Please do not leave any cash or other valuables overnight.

    If you are interested in attending the workshops, as well as vending, you may register for the Conference for a discounted rate of $100.00. You must register as an MPM first to be eligible for this rate.

    Please contact The MPM Vendor Committee (Vendorsgacworshipconference@allencathedral.org) with questions or to make arrangements regarding set-up and delivery. We look forward to working with you for a successful Conference.

    Sincerely,

    The GAC Worship Conference Committee
