Unfortunately, no. Our mission with our events is to provide a certain ambiance for event-goers. For this reason, participants location is strategically curated so that we provide the best possible experience.

Our event is largely by invite-only; however, we provide the opportunity for brands to apply for a booth space. If accepted, then we will reach out to you via phone and/or email. Please note that there is a $25 non-refundable fee to process applications.

We strongly urge that only brands practicing sustainability apply. No brands will be accepted if not a sustainable brand. All applicants must have a website and a social media presence. We also require photo submission of your setup from past events.

For those merchants applying to become a participant, once accepted, you will pay your booth fee either by credit card or by PayPal. We will provide this information to all merchants who are accepted.

We encourage all participants to apply or provide interest as soon as possible, as there are limited booth spaces available during each event. Every event has an application deadline. If an event fills all booth spaces, that event will appear as “sold out” on our website.

Participants who are not accepted into Conscious Coterie will be contacted via email.

If you miss the application deadline, please email us directly to be placed on the waitlist.

We do not issue refunds or booth credits for participant cancellations.

If an event sells out of booth spaces, you can submit your information and application to be added to our waitlist. You will be notified by email if a space opens up and you have been accepted. You will then be required to send your required booth fee via PayPal or Venmo.

For those brands that want to apply, tell us your story! Tell us about yourself, your products, and what makes you a sustainable brand. Include working links to your website and social media profiles. Attach high-res product images and submit with your application.

Participants are required to bring their own displays and fixtures. For outdoor participants, you are required to bring your own 10’x10′ canopy tent with weights. Canvas tents must be white. There are no exceptions to this. Electricity will not be provided unless requested and approved in advance.

All participants can rent their tables and folding chairs from Conscious Coterie. Pricing for those items are as follows:

6′ Table = $10 per day
Folding Chair = $5 per day per chair

No Vinyl/PVC (polyvinyl chloride) signs are allowed due to the high toxicity of the material + the environmental impact of production. Custom-made signage is highly recommended. If a participant arrives with Vinyl/PVC signage, they will be asked to remove it.

Signage that you bring must clearly showcase the brand name. All participants are also required to bring signage that articulates 100% transparency in how your company actively incorporates sustainable practices. This signage can be in the form of a standing banner, hanging banner, brochures, flyers, or paper print-outs.

Transparency guidelines will be provided to all approved merchants.

Please contact us directly if you have an unusual set up or require any special consideration.
