​

• Chizu Con 2025 is open to attendees from 10am-10pm September 13th at the Goodman Center Ironworks and Brassworks.
   

• Approved Applicants agree to have their tables / booths open between the hours of 11am - 7pm. This was put into effect to provide the attendees and sellers with an overall optimal convention experience. 
   

• Setup will be available from Friday September 12th from 5pm - 7:30pm, and starting Saturday morning at 8:30am. The center will be locked overnight and has security cameras.
   

• Proxy/Agented, "sublets", swaps or sharing of table and booth spaces must be approved by Chizu Con before July 26th. If you cannot attend, provide contact to an artist or vendor that is equivalent or similar to your own work. Providing an equivalent will help Chizu maintain a mixed atmosphere. No Shows will not be considered for future events.
   

• Purchase of the space includes 1 badge and 2 chairs, and either 1 table for $40 or a booth (4 tables) for $120. Assistant badges will be available for $10 each, up to 4 for Vendors.
   

• The sale of any merchandise that violates United States and International Trademark or Copyright Laws is prohibited at Chizu Con. All items must be legally permitted to be sold in North America and the state of Wisconsin. 
   

• Chizu Con does not allow the sale of any artificially generated (AI) art.
  This includes but is not limited to AI-assisted, AI-generated, and retraced/overdrawn AI works. (This does not relate to program tools such Adobe's auto-fill.)
   

• Food sales are prohibited at the Goodman Center. Prepackaged Novelty snacks, beverages, and candy items are allowed.
   

• Music may be played in a table/booth, volume must be kept at a level which does not disrupt the event. Please avoid music/sounds of an adult nature.
   

• "Adult" 18+ merchandise must be properly marked or censored in a manner that would be appropriate for a family friendly event. Chizu holds the right to request changes to censorship of adult materials at any time.
