Heritage Event Company shows are Antique & Vintage Shows. We actively advertise to our customers they can be confident our shows contain genuine antique and vintage merchandise. HEC dealer registrations all stipulate that no more than 15% of your booth may consist of content outside of these guidelines. This rule is in place to allow for decorative accents and smaller, properly represented items that are complementary to the theme of the show. We do not allow “vintage inspired” merchandise, mass produced imports of domestic or foreign origin, intentional reproductions or fakes made to appear old or items of a pornographic nature. We encourage dealers who have concerns to inquire with us directly before displaying questionable items. These rules are in place to protect the integrity of the show and limit your liability. We reserve the right to ask a dealer to remove merchandise we deem as unsuitable, with that determination being at our sole discretion.

We are an antique/vintage show. As an HEC dealer, all merchandise must represent quality and consist of primarily authentic antique and genuine vintage merchandise. Dealers of items such as beauty products, health supplements, mass-produced home décor, etc. are not appropriate for our events.

Spaces are typically sold in 10′ x 10′ or 10’ x 12’ segments. Many dealers purchase multiple segments to create larger booths. Each segment is priced in the range of $135 to $220 each, depending on the show. Each vendor is allowed to rent up to 4 segments. We do not allow the purchase of ½ booths or a table only.  

We allow dealers the option to bring their own tables or you may rent tables from us. Our table rental fees range from $10-$15 each, depending on the event. All tables must be covered, preferably to the floor. Under no circumstances may storage crates or cardboard boxes be visible during open show hours. We prefer the use of flame-retardant table clothes. Under no circumstances may dealers use any item made of plastic material to cover tables. The promoter reserves the right to request dealers change table covering if the material used is found to not be appropriate.

Only animals approved as service animals are allowed in HEC events.

Most of our standard floorplans are available for viewing on their respective show pages. These layouts may be modified occasionally based on the number of dealers participating in an event.  Established dealers have first right in requesting space placement.  New dealers should request their top three preferences for space on their registration, but are not guaranteed specific placement.  You will receive your booth assignment when you check-in at load-in.  This is necessary due to the common need for last minute changes caused by short-notice cancellations.

Sales tax laws and permit requirements vary by state.  Before the show, you will be notified of the steps necessary to complete prior to the show, which forms you will need to complete and whether or not the state requires a sales tax permit to be obtained.  In most cases, sales tax permits are NOT necessary, and you will be able to complete special event tax forms onsite.

Yes, we will have porter help available at every show, but you MUST notify us in advance if you expect to need porter help.  There is a charge for this service.  Please see show registration forms for more information.

Electrical access is nearly always available at our events, but the price range varies depending on the policies of the facility.  Expect to pay anywhere from $15 to $80 for electrical access.  In all circumstances, you are responsible for supplying your own extension cords.  The use of household cords (i.e. Christmas tree type cords / brown non-grounded types) is prohibited.   If possible, we advise a minimum cord length of 30’.

Rest assured we are here to help you every step of the way!  In the months leading up to the event, participating dealers will receive “Dealer Updates” containing the answers to all types of questions, such as: Where do I go to unload?  Can we drive into the facility?  Do you supply dollies?  Do you have a designated hotel block for dealers?  Are chairs available?  When can we get in each day?  We try to cover all the bases in advance so you will know what to expect in advance and we can provide a pleasurable experience for everyone.  

With over 20 years of advertising and marketing experience, you can rest assured that we will take the appropriate measures necessary to bring your potential customers to an event.  We regularly advertise on television, radio, billboards, newspapers and in trade publications.  Promotional postcards are mailed to previous customers on our mailing list before every show.  We have a strong online presence and a firm grasp on the concept that social media marketing is an essential part of reaching prospective customers in today’s world.  

Yes. Heritage Event Company hires security personnel at every event we produce. We take your safety seriously. Dealers are not allowed to enter the show floor outside of dealer access hours unless personally supervised by a security officer or HEC staff member. Regardless of the various measures we take to protect you and your belongings we highly advise you invest in personal security equipment for use in your booth if you carry items of an excessively high value, such as (but not limited to) estate jewelry or gold coins.
