The Market + Exchange Is Where Conversations Turn Into Solutions
Formerly known as SourceMart, this space has been reimagined to reflect what actually happens when NARTS members connect with the partners, vendors, and service providers who support the resale industry. Sometimes a deal is made right there in the moment. Other times it begins with a conversation, a demonstration, or a new idea that leads to a smarter decision down the road.
The name Market + Exchange reflects both sides of that experience.
Yes, it is a place where members can discover products, services, and tools that may help their stores operate more efficiently, market more effectively, or grow their business. But it is also a place for research, education, and honest conversation about what is working in resale today.
Some attendees come ready to invest in new systems or partnerships. Others arrive curious, exploring options and learning what is available to them as they plan their next steps.
Both are exactly what this space is designed for.
The Market + Exchange creates an environment where store owners, managers, and teams can ask questions, see demonstrations, compare ideas, and learn directly from the people who are building resources for the resale community.
In many ways, it becomes a natural extension of the NARTS philosophy: a place where knowledge is shared, connections are built, and everyone walks away with a clearer picture of what is possible.
Some attendees will leave with new partnerships.
Others will leave with ideas to explore later.
And many will simply leave better informed than when they arrived.
Every one of those outcomes moves the industry forward.
Vendor Opportunities | Market + Exchange Exhibitors
The Market + Exchange is designed to create meaningful connections between companies that serve the resale industry and the store owners who rely on those solutions every day.
NARTS members attend the conference to learn, improve their stores, and discover resources that help them operate more efficiently and grow stronger businesses. The Market + Exchange creates a dedicated space for those conversations to happen.
As an exhibitor, you will have the opportunity to meet store owners, managers, and decision makers representing resale, consignment, and thrift stores from across the country. Many arrive actively searching for tools, services, and partnerships that can improve their operations, marketing, technology, inventory systems, or overall store performance.
Just as important, you will gain valuable insight into the real challenges these businesses face and how your products or services may help solve them.
This is not simply a vendor hall. It is an environment built around conversation, education, and relationship building within the resale community.
As the Market + Exchange continues to grow, participating vendors have the opportunity to become recognized resources within the NARTS community and build lasting connections with the store owners we serve.

If you are not currently a NARTS Partner but are interested in participating, we ask that you reach out to us prior to registering.
Please email us at angie@narts.org with a brief overview of your company and how you serve resale, consignment, or thrift stores.
Our team will review and follow up with next steps. If approved, you will be invited to complete registration and secure your booth.
Before You Register
Please review the information below carefully before submitting your registration. Your completed form will serve as your exhibitor agreement.
If your booth setup includes display fixtures, clothing racks, floor banners, or anything beyond a standard tabletop setup, be sure to note that on the form. This helps us determine the best booth size and layout for your space. If additional floor space is needed, we will review your setup and let you know any added cost before sending an invoice.
Additional tables will not be available on site, so please reserve the booth size that best fits your display needs from the start. All storage must remain neatly under your skirted table so the space stays clean, safe, and easy to navigate.
Booth registration closes June 1, 2026.
Electric, Lighting, and Internet
Each booth includes one standard electrical outlet. Please bring your own extension cords and any specialty lighting you may need for your display. WiFi will be available in the Market + Exchange space.
If you need audiovisual equipment, all rentals must be arranged through the hotel’s approved vendor. Please review the available equipment list and note your needs on the form so we can follow up with you as needed.
Food and Beverage
You are welcome to offer small food items to attendees. Think simple, individually wrapped, and easy to enjoy, such as candy or similar grab and go treats. Water service will already be available in the space, so there is no need to plan for beverages.
Set Up and Tear Down
You may access the Market + Exchange space up to 24 hours in advance. All setup must be completed by 2:00 PM on Saturday, June 27.
If you anticipate any issues with setup timing or have special installation concerns, please contact Association Manager April Clark in advance so we can help plan accordingly.
Out of respect for attendees and fellow exhibitors, booth materials may not be removed before the event ends at 6:00 PM. Tear down must be completed by 9:00 PM that evening.
Shipping Information
If you plan to ship materials to the hotel, please indicate that on the form. We will send you the proper shipping instructions and labels so your boxes can be identified and delivered correctly.
To help you avoid hotel storage fees, shipments should arrive no earlier than three days before the event. Please do not ship materials without first receiving the proper labels from us.
Partner exhibitors may ship up to three boxes at no charge. Additional boxes will be billed at $10 per box.
Non Partner exhibitors will be charged a $10 handling fee per box.
Additional Fees and Invoicing
Your registration will include your base booth selection. If your setup requires additional space, extra box handling, or other approved add ons, we will review your needs first and let you know the cost before sending an invoice.
This gives us the chance to make sure you have what you need without surprising you with charges along the way.
Product and Display Guidelines
NARTS does not allow the display, promotion, sale, or advertising of counterfeit merchandise during or surrounding any official NARTS function.
We ask all exhibitors to present themselves in professional business attire. Please no jeans or shorts.
No one under the age of 18 is permitted in the Market + Exchange space.
Partner Conversations and Promotion
Partners are encouraged to connect, share, and talk about what they offer throughout the conference. This weekend is built on relationships first, and we want real conversations happening at every touchpoint. When it comes to more direct selling or structured promotion, please keep those activities within the Market + Exchange so the overall experience stays comfortable and focused for everyone.
All exhibitors and attendees, including Market + Exchange vendors, will receive the attendee list.
Hospitality Suites and Additional Events
If you would like to host a hospitality suite, customer reception, auxiliary meeting, training session, or any other event during conference, it must be approved in advance by NARTS.
This policy helps us protect the flow of the conference and avoid conflicts with official NARTS programming, including optional events such as the Field Study resale shop bus tour. We reserve the right to postpone, delay, or cancel any event that conflicts with an official NARTS function.
Exhibit Arrangements
To keep everything organized and consistent, please do not contact the hotel directly regarding exhibit arrangements. All exhibit related planning must go through NARTS. Guest room reservations are the only exception and may be handled directly with the hotel.
Cancellation Policy
We understand that plans can change, and we’ll do our best to be fair while also protecting the integrity of the event.
Cancellations must be submitted in writing by June 1, 2026.
Cancellations received on or before June 1 will receive a full refund minus a $75 administrative fee.
Due to planning, space commitments, and event expenses, no refunds will be issued after June 1, 2026.
Booth spaces are reserved specifically for each exhibitor, and late cancellations impact both layout and overall experience, so we appreciate your understanding.
Stay Connected
We encourage you to connect with attendees before, during, and after Conference through the NARTS Members Only Facebook group. If you are not already part of the group, you can request access through the Members Only section of the NARTS website.
