Exhibits need power, tables, and safety review - details that vanish in a generic form.
Use case
Maker faires, run from one dashboard.
Run the event site, exhibit spaces and admission, applications from makers and exhibitors, booth assignments, and event-day check-in for maker faires, STEM showcases, and inventor meetups from one connected dashboard.
Who it's for
Maker faires, STEM showcases, and inventor meetups.
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 exhibit spaces and admission
- Collect applications from makers and exhibitors
- Assign booths on the floor-plan map
- Run QR check-in at the door
The old way
What usually goes wrong.
Makers 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 makers and exhibitors apply and pay online?
Yes. Makers 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 exhibit spaces 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.
