There is a possibility of sharing one module between 2 artistic booths.

The module is a space measuring 2m x 2m. The rented area does not include any furniture, but it is enclosed within the standard trade fair construction. The sales booth can be arranged with your own furniture; however, it is not possible to отказаться of the provided trade fair structure or to set up your own tent. It is possible to rent from the organizer: tables at a price of 50 PLN net (dimensions 80 cm x 80 cm), chairs at a price of 5 PLN net, as well as additional elements such as shelves, racks, carpeting, lighting points, glass display cases, and a refrigerator, according to the available price list.

Other elements can be arranged individually, depending on availability: wystawca@miohi.pl.


*A handicraft booth can be rented only if all products qualify as handicraft (items made in a non-industrial way, with artistic value, such as handmade jewelry, clothing and other tailoring products, original drawings/graphics sold on various media, scrapbooking, handmade plush toys, prints of original 3D models, etc.). If other products are also displayed at the booth, such as merchandise with photos, 3D prints or commercial graphics, resold products, etc., the booth must be registered as a sales booth.

If you are unsure how to classify your products, we will be happy to help: wystawca@miohi.pl

Being late to the opening of the exhibitor area is allowed for up to one hour without notifying the exhibitor coordinator. Exhibitors may close their booth and leave the convention grounds up to one hour before the official closing of the exhibitor area without notifying the exhibitor coordinator. Failing to set up the booth or being absent during the opening of the convention may result in not being accepted for future editions of Magnificon. Dismantling the booth before the scheduled dismantling hours without written permission from the exhibitor coordinator may also result in not being accepted for future editions of the convention.

§10

It is possible to send goods via courier – however, the organizers must be informed of this in the application email. Expo staff do not receive goods from couriers, so the shipment must be scheduled to arrive at Expo strictly on Thursday or Friday. Otherwise, it will be returned to the sender. The package must also be labeled with the booth number and name it is addressed to.

§11
All invoices will be issued electronically after the event and sent to the email address provided in the application form. If a paper invoice is required, please indicate this in the form.

§12

t is possible to issue a VAT invoice for the booth. To do so, please fill in your company details in the application form. Any resignations or changes regarding the invoice must be reported to wystawca@miohi.pl by 10.04.2026. Requests for issuing an invoice at a later date may not be processed.

§13

Booths submitted via the provided application form and accepted will be displayed on the website in the “Exhibitor Zone” section. Please fill in the part of the form responsible for the booth description carefully, as it will be visible to all Magnificon attendees. A properly completed application significantly increases the chances of the booth being accepted. In case of a shared booth, a combined description of both booths must be included in the “booth description” section, and both logos should be attached as a single file. The description has a character limit specified in the application form. If the description is significantly longer, it will be shortened by the exhibitor coordinator. In case more than one logo or description is submitted, only the first file in order will be used.

§14

The organizer reserves the right to refuse booth rental to exhibitors without providing a reason.

§15

The convention organizer assumes no responsibility for the legal status of sales conducted by exhibitors at the event.

§16

The sale of the following items is strictly prohibited:

  • Weapons and ammunition as defined by the applicable Weapons and Ammunition Act,

  • Bladed weapons with sharpened edges; items with blunt edges are allowed only if transported in a manner safe for other participants (e.g., packed in a cardboard box),

  • Explosives and pyrotechnics,

  • Flammable, poisonous, foul-smelling, or radioactive chemical substances,

  • At art booths – products and artworks created using artificial neural networks (AI-generated content),

  • Items and graphics that are illegal, offensive, or violate public decency or social norms,

  • Erotic items and content intended for adult audiences – these may only be sold in the 18+ zone, the description and regulations of which can be found here: ZONE +18.

If any of the above-mentioned items are found at a booth, the organizer may:

  • Demand immediate removal of the item from sale,

  • Remove the booth from the convention area without refund for the occupied space,

  • Remove 18+ products from sale and display if they are being offered outside the designated 18+ zone. A detailed list of what qualifies as content for the 18+ zone can be found in that zone’s regulations. ZONE +18 .

The fee for applying for the entire booth is 100 PLN net per time slot. It is also possible to apply for half of the booth for 50 PLN net per time slot.

Each day of the convention is divided into 2 or 3 time slots during which a rotating artist can sell their products. Time slots and artists meeting the convention requirements will be selected by random draw.

Time slots:
Friday: A) 14:00–17:00 B) 17:00–21:00

Detailed instructions regarding the artist rotation at the booth will be sent by email to the artists who are accepted into the program.
