Thank You for Being Vendor Or Exhibitor

We are thrilled to host you at Barnard College for this monumental event. In order to ensure that our wonderful vendors and exhibitors have the best time, we have compiled the necessary information below!

About the Space

Our Vendor and Exhibitors will be housed in Barnard Hall where Zora herself took courses. Located in Barnard Hall’s First Floor LeFrak Center Lobby directly across from the campus’s main entrance gates, and housing the majority of summit breakout sessions, this space will receive one of the largest amount of traffic from our attendees. The space will also be visible from the outside as the specific vendor space will be where the individual seats are currently located on either side of the main entrance.
