NOTE: You can not book a room at the conVENTion rate without registering for the conVENTion first.
How much is registration and how do I go about registering?
The registration this year is $175 for the first family member and $125 for each additional family member. After May 1, 2023 the price goes to $225 for the first family member and $175 for additional family members.
You may register online or mail in your registration using the form located on our official ConVENTion brochure, which may be downloaded on the homepage of this website. Just download it and send it in.
Do I pay a day rate or is the pre-registration enough?
The day rates of $85.00 per person per day only apply when you don’t want a full registration. The day rate applies when you can only be at the ConVENTion for a single day or two. The 85.00 fee is for each individual day. You buy your registration by the individual days that you can attend.
How much is a dealer's table and how do I arrange it?
Vent Haven ConVENTion is pleased to offer two dealers’ rooms at this year’s gathering.
Dealers who have merchandise related to ventiloquism in some way are eligible to exhibit at the ConVENTion. Space may be arranged for a dealer’s table ($115.00 for the first table and $85.00 for one additional table) at registration but exhibit space is limited to only 24-26 dealers, so it is on a “first come” basis.
Many dealers take credit cards, especially those that sell figures. Cash and checks are acceptable as well. A list of the dealers attending will be released close to convention time when all the tables are reserved.

If you plan to wait and register when you arrive, please note you will not be able to make a hotel reservation at the conVENTion rate. We highly recommend you register in advance AND reserve a room to be certain you have a place to stay.
Can I audio/videotape during the convention?
What will the weather be like and how should I dress?
Casual, comfortable clothes are most appropriate. The hotel is air-conditioned so if that tends to make you chilly, you might want to bring a sweater/sweatshirt to the sessions. Shorts, jeans, khakis are all appropriate. Comfort is most important.
The tours of Vent Haven are typically quite warm. Kentucky in July tends to be hot with daytime temperatures typically ranging in the 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Although the museum buildings are air-conditioned, they are small and heat up fast with the large convention crowds. Dress to be hot for the tours.
Are there any events or shows open to the public?
Will the group photo be available?
The group photo will be available online through the Vent Haven ConVENTion website within a few weeks of the conVENTion. Anyone who would like a copy can download it and get it printed in your hometown. If you use www.walmart.com, you can get an 8×10 printed for less than $3. Instructions for this process will be posted on the ConVENTion website along with the downloadable picture.
If I bring my family, what can they do while I'm attending the convention?
Can I just come and visit the dealers rooms?
