2010 AKC National Agility Championship

Vendors

We are very happy to announce that our 2010 AKC National Agility Championship will be held at the Built Ford Tough Livestock Complex at Expo Square in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The dates for this event are Friday, March 26 through Sunday, March 28, 2010. The AKC anticipates this event to be one of our largest championships ever, with an estimated 1,000 teams competing in the beautiful, spacious Expo Square. In addition to handlers/dogs from the Regular classes, new to the National Agility Championship will be handlers and dog teams competing in the Preferred classes.

Vendor space is limited and is now open for all vendors to apply for any remaining spaces. If you are interested in being a vendor at the 2010 AKC National Agility Championship, please contact Pamela Manaton at AgilityNationals@akc.org and submit a complete description of the products or services provided by your company with your inquiry.

AKC reserves the right to select the type of merchandise to be sold at this show to limit the number of vendors with similar items. If selected, AKC will provide a vendor contract to be completed and returned with the appropriate fees and insurance documents.

There will be no sharing of booth spaces between vendors. The final deadline to submit vendor contracts for this prestigious event is January 29, 2010.

Contracts will be accepted in the order in which they are received until all spaces are filled. Only completed contracts with full payment will reserve a booth space.

Booth spaces are available on a first-come, first-serve basis and will only be reserved when all of the proper paperwork and fees have been received by AKC. Incomplete paperwork or fees will not reserve a space.

The following items are required to be submitted with a completed vendor booth contract:

  1. A completed/signed Vendor Booth Contract;
  2. Fees payable to AKC Agility Nationals ($300 for 10’x10’ or $600 for 10’x20’);
  3. Certificate of Business Liability Insurance in the amount of $1 Million (bodily injury and property damage) and naming The American Kennel Club, Inc. and the Tulsa County Public Facilities Authority as additional insured covering move-in, event days and move-out days;

The area for vendors does not allow for the use of motorized vehicles. Please plan accordingly as there will be no trailers etc. allowed inside the vendor area for loading and unloading. There are loading/unloading areas very close to where the vendor area is located. All vendor items will have to be brought into the area by handcart. All vendors will be required to vacate the vendor hall by 9:00 p.m. on Sunday, March 28th.
