The Memorial Union is offering an incredible opportunity for vendors to showcase their products or events to hundreds of Washburn University students, faculty, and staff.
Register your company or organization here. Deadline for registration with vendors outside Washburn University and Washburn University organizations is August 16, 2024. Any further questions should be directed to the University Scheduling office at universityscheduling@washburn.edu or 785.670.1725.
When filling out the Washburn® Market Daze registration, please be prepared to provide your organization’s name, address, email, and phone contact information as well as the nature of your company or group and what you will be providing as a sample or giveaway. You will also need to specify if you require electricity as there are limited spaces available for power needs.
Your registration is not complete until we have also received your signed event waiver.
Washburn® Market Daze is a free event to companies and organizations as long as a product or service is provided to the attendees. Samples for 600 and marketing materials for 700 should be the minimum product provided. We expect record attendance. (Our history has shown 800+ attended in past events with over 1,000 students in the last 2 years.)
A signed event waiver form must be received by the Scheduling department before August 19, 2024.
