Dealers Wandering Off

I think you will need a sheet to cover your table, and goods for sale while you are away.

This is a surprisingly common question this year, and I'm startled we didn't document it better!

Oh defintely--you are more than entitled to leave your table at any time you see fit, for whatever reasons. We actually encourage dealers to spend some time wandering about, seeing panels, participating in events, and basically sampling the convention itself. The room is monitored by security during all operating hours; we suggest that if you're completely gone for any long period of time you at the very least cover your table with a sheet (which, please not, we cannot provide!) and note that you are gone for a spell.

If so inclined, you can also have someone monitor your table for you while you're gone; so long as they've been approved by you, we don't mind someone sitting about and minding the store, as it were. You can even continue selling your goods while not in, though taxes are still your personal responsibility.

We could certainly not tell our dealers to sit on their bums for three straight days, as we're putting on the convention for you blokes as well, and we want you to get out there and enjoy!

We ask dealers who wander off kindly not to wander too far to the north, lest they fall into the river.
