Q) What is Zolocon?

A) Zolocon, brought to you by Zoloworld.com, was founded in 2016 by Mike Zolotorow with a mission to capture the nostalgic vibe of 90s-era conventions. Our event celebrates everything retro and vintage, from collectibles and knock-off toys to designer creations, indie toy makers, card gaming, video gaming, wrestling memorabilia, golden and silver age comics, emerging comic artists, manga, diecast, anime, movie fandom, and all things pop culture!

Stay connected with us on Instagram and Facebook for sneak peeks at participating manufacturers, vendor spotlights, special guests, and exclusive show updates throughout the year.

Saturday (7:00 AM - 8:00 AM) Exhibitor’s Arrival Time
Sunday (7:30 AM - 8:30 AM) Exhibitor’s Arrival Time

 Please Refer Back to this F.A.Q. Section in February for Updates before traveling.

Keep in mind Friday is for Exhibitors and their helpers only. Re-sellers are not allowed on Friday during setup. As an Exhibitor, it's your prerogative to buy, trade, and sell with fellow Exhibitors - it is a bonus to exhibiting! Non-participants detract from the value of the show for Attendees by cherry-picking collectibles before the show opens.

Exhibitor parking is located in the back of the casino. Trucks and trailers should look for signage indicating where to park in that area. Vehicles drive down through the tunnel to unload directly onto the showroom floor.

The registration table is located inside the entrance to the tunnel. Exhibitors pick up their non-transferable badges, table assignments, and contracts here. The Exhibitor contracts are available to read in advance on zolocon.com. Each Exhibitor will receive one badge for themselves and a second badge for their helper. Please make sure to wear your badges at all times when entering and exiting the building so that security knows not to bother you. Remember that these Volunteers are just doing their jobs, so please be polite. Additional weekend passes can be purchased at the registration desk.

Exhibitors, Guests, Attendees, and Promoters are not allowed to promote or solicit events and businesses inside Zolocon. Promotion is a service Zolocon provides within the Attendees' expo guides thanks to the support of Sponsors. Contact sales@zolocon.com to participate. Details on zolocon.com

Shipped pallets will be received by General Expo Service and delivered directly to Exhibitors’ spaces. Additional tables, chairs, shelving, etc., should also be arranged through them. **look for the orientation email from sales@zolocon.com in February**

Power drops can be made through Valley Forge Casino Resort **look for the orientation email from sales@zolocon.com in February**

Zolocon is renowned for featuring unique finds. It's become part of the brand. Feel free to showcase something special from your inventory; it will be worth your while!

Notice for 2025...

Starting in 2025, Exhibitors will be asked to reserve tables via the website, and we won’t be able to take reservations verbally. We’re truly sorry for the inconvenience and ask you to have patience as Zolocon makes positive changes to help us promote a better show for you while creating a more streamlined, fun experience for you in the process.
