The Passport Program

Event attendees are encouraged to visit every exhibitor and learn about our vendors by completing a passport sheet. This program is supported by our marketplace partners. Attendees win prizes (donated by vendors) for getting their passport stamped at each booth and table.

It is simple. Pick up a passport sheet in the Marketplace, visit each booth and table in marketplace, and put the fully stamped sheet in the “passport” box by the Bookstore entrance before 5pm on Thursday, January 25, 2024. Drawing will be on Friday morning at the 8am-9:15am Book SIgning in the Bookstore.

Shortly following the drawing, you will be notified by text if your name was drawn. Prizes can be picked up Friday at between 6 p.m. – 7 p.m. during Cocktails & Conversation where the Open Air Marketplace was set up on your way to the Ballroom.
