Traveling dealers book the same weekend every year and expect their history to follow them.
Use case
Gem and mineral shows, run from one dashboard.
Run the event site, dealer tables and admission, applications from dealers, booth assignments, and event-day check-in for gem shows, mineral expos, and fossil fairs from one connected dashboard.
Who it's for
Gem shows, mineral expos, and fossil fairs.
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 dealer tables and admission
- Collect applications from dealers
- Assign booths on the floor-plan map
- Run QR check-in at the door
The old way
What usually goes wrong.
Dealers 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 dealers apply and pay online?
Yes. Dealers 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 dealer tables and admission 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.
