Artist alley applications explode past capacity while the waitlist lives in someone's head.
Use case
Comic cons, run from one dashboard.
Run the event site, badges, VIP passes, and artist alley tables, applications from artists and exhibitors, booth assignments, and event-day check-in for comic conventions, indie comic shows, and artist alley organizers from one connected dashboard.
Who it's for
Comic conventions, indie comic shows, and artist alley organizers.
Instead of sending attendees, vendors, sponsors, and staff through separate tools, every workflow stays attached to the same event record - so nothing falls through the cracks between your form tool, your ticket link, and your spreadsheet.
- Publish a branded event site
- Sell badges, VIP passes, and artist alley tables
- Collect applications from artists and exhibitors
- Assign booths on the floor-plan map
- Run QR check-in at the door
The old way
What usually goes wrong.
Artists and exhibitors apply in one tool while payments happen in another.
Booth assignments get redrawn in a spreadsheet nobody else can see.
Event-day staff work from printed lists that were stale before doors opened.

FAQ
Common questions.
Can artists and exhibitors apply and pay online?
Yes. Artists and exhibitors fill out a structured application with your custom questions, and once approved they can pay booth or table fees through Stripe checkout - or you can record manual payments like cash and checks.
Does VendlyNest sell badges, VIP passes, and artist alley tables too?
Yes - tickets, booths, sponsor packages, and add-ons all live in one commerce layer with capacity limits, sold-out protection, receipts, and QR passes.
Do we need a separate website builder?
No. Every event gets a multi-page microsite with themes, drag-and-drop content blocks, vendor and guest directories, and optional custom domains.
