Dealers room

A Dealers room is a space provided where merchants offer wares, (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.

This room / department is often called the hucksters room. Some dealers, especially those with perhaps less historical perspective on fandom (or from another country where the term "huckster" is either not used or is a disparaging term of abuse), seem to find that term demeaning, which may explain its declining use (why annoy people over a triviality?).

If you are short on function space, you may wish to consider a Dealers' Row, where dealers sell out of their hotel rooms. The con must try to group these rooms together, and should charge a fee for being in this block; in addition, the con also has an obligation to publicize the block. A Dealers' Row offers greater individual freedom
