What Makes Tabling with Us Unique?

Starting a conversation with convention attendees could be one of the most challenging parts of having a table.  This is compounded when you are starting out and it's your first show.  At the INDYpendent Show, we've created an environment for that conversation to starts itself.  
  • You will have the option to display a sign on your table that highlights some of your strengths in the creation process.  You may love lettering, digital art, or marketing when it comes to comics.  Placing some of these key strengths on the sign will allow attendees to find creators who can best answer their specific questions.

Before purchasing a table, please consider...

  • You need to have something physical to sell.  That could be an ashcan edition or regular comic, a stapled collection of shorts or a sketchbook with character descriptions.
  • Since this is a small venue, there isn't room for large display racking or built out shelving systems.  In an effort to keep an open feel for the show, we encourage a simple banner display only, kept to under 7 feet tall.

Sorry, tables are currently sold out.  
Please contact FIGIDPress@Gmail.com to inquire about any last minute openings due to cancellations or to be put on the waiting list.

Step One: Choose a payment option
  • Purchase your table online by adding a table to your cart.
Step Two: Send some sample images of your work, your social media handles, two strengths, as well as a little about yourself for the Creator Spotlight page. Email it all to FIGIDPress@Gmail.com.  To make the most of the slideshow, please submit images with 16:9 dimensions. If you cannot do this, it is OK, The slideshow will re-size the image to fit.

Details for creators

What’s new for this show?
  • The show will be held in the same place and time as the Who’s Yer Con, the largest free gaming event in Indianapolis.
  • This INDYpendent Show will not have an admission charge to get in.
  • High traffic location – The show room will be directly across from the True Dungeon and Path Finder room.  The show is near both show entrances for high visibility.  The show is also across from a casual, open gaming area and next to the vendor room.
  • Increased visibility.  By combining the promotion power of both shows, everyone will benefit.
  • New banners and signage promoting those at the show.

What stays the same as previous shows?
  • Creator strengths table signs to promote engagement.
  • Networking and educational atmosphere.
  • There will be a highly visible table set up in the room where creators can do demonstrations or educational presentations.  This will allow for shorter, but more engaging interactions with attendees.
  • The need for everyone to raise awareness of the INDYpendent Show through social network and all other channels.
  • Creator page on the website.

What is going to be different than the last show?
  • The room is slightly smaller than previous shows due to availability.  
  • Only 22 creator spots will be available
  • Tables are 6’ X 18” in size, which is skinnier than previous events
  • At this time, no panel room.  There simply isn’t space for a structured panel / workshop room, but the show room will feature a demo table that all can schedule time for and we can also “informally” use space in the casual gaming area directly across from the room entrance.
  • Vendors will still need to fill out the exhibitor form for the INDYpendent Show, but will also need to fill out the quick registration form for Whos Yer Con.
  • No spots with power.  This hotel’s policy in regards to power is much more expensive, so unfortunately I can’t accommodate them.  Over 70% of the vendor spaces wouldn’t have access to power anyway.
