City of Buffalo - Special Event Exhibitor Vendors License
All exhibitors selling products or contracting for future work at the show must obtain a temporary business license from the City of Buffalo. The cost is $35.00 per company (regardless of the number of booths). If applicable to your company, you are required to apply for a temporary vendor license at the Department of Permits & Inspection three weeks prior to show (acceptable forms of payment include cash, check or money order).
INSURANCE
The insurance clause is #5 on the Terms and Conditions page of all booth space contracts. For easy reference, exhibitors are required to have:
- Comprehensive General Liability and All Risk Property Insurance
- Coverage must be from the start of move-in to the end of move-out
- Coverage of at least $1,000,000 for each separate occurrence
- Name Marketplace Events LLC and the venue as additional insured
- Provide a copy of the certificate of insurance to MPE upon request
Our shows have all been set up so exhibitors can apply using this link, at Risk-Strategies, Inc. (formerly was Buttine Insurance)
- Exhibitors will have to pick the show from a drop-down list that includes shows other than just those run by MPE.
- Marketplace Events is not selling this insurance and does not profit from it in any way. This is simply a resource for those exhibitors who don't already have the required insurance coverage per their contracts. They do not have to purchase this.
If you have more questions about this insurance you can contact:

In efforts to protect potential joint customers from fraudulent events and scammers, we request that you do not create your own Facebook Event. This helps us manage ticket sales for the event, and ensures that our team are available to support both
exhibitors and potential attendees with any questions, comments, or concerns that they have. Please feel free to reach out to your show manager or show marketing manager with your companies’ Facebook page and we can add you as a co-host to the
official event.
