Recommendations regarding Vendor Requests:
Bookings advises that all vendor requests be made via email to [email protected]. This gives Bookings the request in writing which then can be referenced later if needed. Also, email correspondence is more likely to be seen by multiple Repticon staff in a more timely way. If you are on-site at a show, while questions and concerns are always welcome and encouraged, relying solely on verbally making a future booking request of the on-site managers is not advised. The demands and distractions of running a Repticon event can reasonably result in the manager failing to notate your request. A quick email sent to Bookings ensures your request will be received.
