Information for Vendors

Established in 1977, CanGames is Canada’s longest-running, volunteer-led gaming convention. Each year, hundreds of game enthusiasts meet in the Ottawa area over the course of a weekend … for fun and friendly competition. They play board games, collectible card games, miniatures, role-playing games, and more.

Most CanGames participants are from the Ottawa region, however there are also a number of visitors from Ontario, Quebec, or the northwestern United States. CanGames’ three-day long market is the perfect opportunity to show off your wares to hundreds of attendees.

Refunds are possible up to Feb 28, after that date they will no longer be available, unless the convention is cancelled. We have confidence in you, please have confidence in us to provide you a market to sell.

If you would like to rent a booth, you can do so. There are three sizes of booths available as supplies last. All booths are created with 8′ high drapes at the rear and 3′ high side rails. Enough tables and chairs are provided. Vendors can maintain their own hours during the convention and can open or close as needed.

We encourage companies to sign-up as soon as possible to permit advertising your participation  on the Web site. Please note that bookings are on a first come first served basis.

Other Options

Sponsor Table: For when you want to run demos on the game floor and sell your product on the spot. A gaming table is assigned to you. Your game is listed in the schedule. Sales can only occur at your table. The price to rent a table is $15 per time slot.

Rent a Table: You can rent  a marketplace table which will be assigned for you for the day. You can use this table to sell your products. The price to rent a table is $40 per day.

Peddler Pass : If you would like permission to sell products at the show without a table, you can purchase a peddler pass for $25 for the weekend. You would be able to sell your product at any game you run, but if you run multiple games we cannot guarantee you will keep your same table.
