Vendor Assistant Role & Guidelines
The Vendor Assistant ticket is designed for individuals who will be helping a registered vendor during the Black Authors Festival. A Vendor Assistant is not a replacement for the vendor, but rather an extra set of hands to ensure a smooth and successful day.
Purpose & Duties
The Vendor Assistant is expected to:
Arrive at the same time as the vendor (no later than 1:30 PM for setup).
Assist with unloading, setup, and teardown of the vendor booth.
Help manage customer interactions, process sales, and restock merchandise as needed.
Monitor the booth when the vendor steps away (e.g., restroom breaks, networking).
Maintain a clean and organized booth area throughout the event.
Adhere to all Black Authors Festival rules, guidelines, and professional standards at all times.
Important Rules
The Vendor Assistant ticket cannot be used to attend in place of the vendor.
If the vendor cannot attend, the vendor assistant feature is non-transferable and non-refundable.
Vendor Assistants must comply with all festival policies—including conduct, professionalism, and setup/teardown times.
Vendor Assistants may not bring music, loud amplification, or create disruptions.
Assistants must remain respectful to all vendors, festival staff, and attendees.
Attire & Professionalism
While corporate attire is not required, Vendor Assistants must be dressed appropriately and professionally—presentable, neat, and suitable for a public event representing a brand or business.
Access & Benefits
The Vendor & Vendor Assistant ticket includes:
Event food access (included with ticket).
Entry into the After Party.
Entry into the Film Screening.
Special Note for @ATL
♿Wheelchair & Mobility Accessibility: Any guests attending with mobility devices (including but not limited to walkers and wheelchairs) to ensure the facility has restroom facilities that can accommodate wheelchairs and guests with mobility devices. The notice must be submitted in writing no less than four weeks prior to the event date (August 29th).
