What
is
DesignerCon
All
About?
We
recommend
that
you
read
the
What
is
DCon
page
to
answer
this
complex
question.
Main
thing
we
want
to
make
sure
people
know
if
that
the
show
is
about
having
fun
and
meeting
all
your
favorite
artists,
designers,
manufacturers
and
vendors.

Why
was
the
Show
Name
Changed
from
Vinyl
Toy
Network
to
DesignerCon?
As
the
show
has
grown
we
started
to
realize
that
the
art
behind
the
whole
vinyl
toy
movement
and
the
elements
that
helped
put
together
the
VTN
are
out
of
the
"vinyl
toy"
scope.
Frankly
the
name
was
too
restrictive
and
people
felt
that
the
show
only
dealt
with
vinyl
toys;
this
is
not
the
fact.
Vendors
of
the
show
not
only
include
companies
involved
in
vinyl
toys.
We
have
amazing
clothing
companies,
art
and
printing
companies
and
other
types
of
companies
that
all
have
their
fair
share
in
the
artistic
and
designer
aspect
of
this
show.

The
Show
is
Bigger?
What
Does
That
Mean?
Through
the
years
the
show
has
grown
and
this
year
is
no
different.
The
show
is
moving
up
from
the
small
rooms
and
halls
of
the
Pasadena
Center
to
the
large
25,000
sq.
ft.
Pavilion
that
Pasadena
has
to
offer.
This
huge
hall
allows
us
to
not
just
increase
the
number
of
vendors
but
more
importantly
increase
the
number
of
events
happening
inside
the
hall.
This
years
events
will
include
Live
Artists
Painting,
Live
Modeling
by
Dr.
Sketchys,
a
Custom
Art
Show
brought
to
us
by
AdFunture
and
much
much
more.

How
Much
to
Get
Into
the
Show?
Admission
this
year,
just
like
the
previous
year,
is
$5
while
children
12
and
under
get
in
for
free.
The
show
also
will
allow
free
entry
after
3pm. |
|
Is
there
a
Goodie
Bag
this
Year?
Yes!
As
always
the
goodie
bags
are
limited
and
do
cost
$5.
These
bags
are
made
to
support
the
show
and
all
the
money
collected
from
selling
the
bags
goes
back
into
making
the
show
better.
All
the
items
in
the
bags
are
donated
to
us
by
our
sponsors
and
collectively
the
bags
are
worth
much
more
than
$5.
These
are
optional
to
purchase
but
we
hope
that
you
support
us
by
buying
them. |
|
Can
I
Be
a
Vendor?
If
you
feel
your
company
fits
into
the
show
then
yes!
If
you
dont
know
if
your
company
does
feel
free
to
email
us
and
ask.
We
always
love
new
companies
that
can
diversify
the
show.
|
|
Will
There
be
Exclusives
at
the
Show?
Yes!
Most
vendors
will
tell
us
what
the
exclusives
will
be
and
we
list
them
on
the
Exclusives
page
of
the
site
BUT
sometimes
vendors
will
keep
an
exclusive
as
a
surprise
until
attendees
get
to
the
show.
