Why vend or exhibit with Terraria?

With Terraria you are a community builder, not just a vendor. For decades reptile shows have been the same, over and over again, and the times are changing. We have the opportunity to help usher in the change of a new era of herpetofauna shows and gatherings. We need a reason for guests to want to spend their time at an expo, not just those who want to buy a reptile. Focusing on education and interaction, the goal is to inspire curiosity and passion with people, both new and experienced keepers alike. We want to show people why we love this hobby so much, and help them find their way through it. Building connections and community is why we're here! 

​

What will Terraria have to offer?

While Terraria is still indeed a reptile expo in the way of the past, it's also a new opportunity for vendors. We want you to share your passion! We're offering speaker and workshop opportunities to exhibitors to share what they love, with people that want to hear it. This is also a more intimate event, the focus is on you! We have a very limited amount of vendor spaces available, meaning each category gets more individual spotlight, so bring your A Game! Speaking of community, not only is this event to build community with newcomers, but it's to strengthen community amongst vendors. After hours BINGO night (BYOB), optional early shopping for vendors on Saturday morning before the show is open to the public, and full support all weekend long from the organizers and volunteers. You're not here to make the show money, you're here to inspire and share, you're here to be celebrated for what you offer, and you're here to support your customers through their journeys.

This is a new show, but it is not without experienced show runners that have your back. Jasmine of Blackthorn Exotics has been running and vending shows for nearly 20 years, including vending the Red Deer show since 2007! Lauren of Yaga Botanica currently runs the ever successful Naturecore Show in Edmonton, and both bring a new and fresh outlook to the reptile expo game. We are here to support you, answer your questions, and ensure that you as the exhibitor have a successful show.
