Vendor Information & Registration

​​​

Vendors are responsible for their own water quality, water changes and anything else they might need for their tanks like air pumps, etc.

Competition Tank for Your Client’s Fish - The Atlanta Koi Club provides show tanks for dealers who sell fish to be entered into the show. Entrants not showing other fish in the show must register their own fish.  Fish must be in the community tanks by 9:00 am Saturday

Since this is a hobbyist-only show, all fish entered must be owned by and accompanied by the registered entrant.  Koi or Goldfish dealers or their employees, even part time or informal fish dealers are not allowed to show fish.

Hospitality - AKC will showcase its famous southern hospitality with a Vendor Appreciation Night on Friday night from 6 PM to 10 PM.  The event will feature excellent food, beer, wine, and assorted non-alcoholic beverages.  This is a great opportunity to meet the judges, mingle with other Koi hobbyists, vendors, club members and exhibitors. 

We encourage the vendors to be open for business to give attendees an early chance to shop.

Awards Banquet - The banquet is scheduled for 6:30 PM on Saturday night and will be held at Reformation Brewery.  Cocktails/beverages beginning at 6:30 PM will precede the banquet.  Tickets are $50 per person.  Advance reservations are highly encouraged.  Prior to the show, banquet reservations are available through the website, with your advance vendor registration, or through eligible trophy sponsorship.  If reservations remain available at the show they can be purchased at the AKC Store.  Banquet Ticket Link

Raffle Donations – Donations of raffle items are welcomed.  Raffles are held throughout the weekend with the proceeds benefitting the Atlanta Koi Club to assist in deferring the cost of the show.   If you prefer, your donation may be designated to be auctioned during the Awards Banquet on Saturday night.

Vendor donations are greatly appreciated for either purpose.  The Atlanta Koi Club is a non-profit organization so donations may be tax deductible. 

Cancellation Policy- No refunds of reservation fees will be made unless the booth can be rented prior to the show, then a full refund of advance fees will be made after the show.

Honoring Koi Bucks - The Koi Bucks program is a way to encourage members to generate additional sales with the show vendors. The Atlanta Koi Club has issued Koi Buck certificates to many club members as rewards during the year.   Each new certificate is in a $10 denomination, there may be some older $20 and $30 Koi Bucks’.  We ask each vendor to honor the Koi Buck certificates for their face value.  A club member may have more than one Koi Buck.  Please bring the Koi Bucks to the club booth where we will exchange them for cash.   We will make the cash exchange only for registered vendors.
