Dealers are often provided a space in which to offer merchandise (loosely) related to the subject matter of the convention. This may be in one or more rooms to which all members have easy access. The room itself should be easily secured when it is not open to the public. The dealers will want easy access for themselves for setup and tear down of their individual and collective displays.
