IMPORTANT NOTICE: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY

It is your responsibility to adhere to all rules and guidelines we have outlined for sponsors. Failure to comply may result in removal from the event with no refunds issued. By submitting payment, you agree to these terms and understand that failure to submit required documents on time may result in forfeiture of your sponsorship without refund. This responsibility is entirely yours.

• FIRE RESISTANCE REQUIREMENT: All sponsor tents must have a fire-resistant label or certificate, as required by the Scottsdale Fire Department. Tents without proper documentation will be removed. CPAI-84 certified tents meet this requirement. By purchasing a sponsorship, you acknowledge and agree to this requirement. All tents must be securely weighted at all four corners.
• Overnight 10’x10’ Booth Setup Guidelines: Weather permitting, sponsors who purchase sponsorship for BOTH Saturday and Sunday may leave their booths intact overnight from Saturday to Sunday at their own discretion. If doing so, tents must be fully enclosed with zippered or Velcro-attached sidewalls to cover and conceal all contents. Additionally, all tents must be securely weighted at all four corners.
• Overnight Security: Overnight security will be present on-site and conducting regular patrols throughout the duration of the event, including between event days. There will be approximately 6 security guards present and will be in charge of a designated area. We are not liable for any lost, stolen, or damaged items left unattended in vendor spaces or on market grounds. By participating in this event, vendors acknowledge and accept responsibility for their own property and inventory outside of official event hours.
• IMPORANT: Sponsors are strongly encouraged to remove all valuables overnight — including but not limited to cash boxes, electronics, merchandise, and sensitive materials. By participating in this event, sponsors acknowledge and accept responsibility for their own property and inventory outside of official event hours.
