HexaCon is primarily focused on playing games, so there won't be a trade hall of vendors at the event. We're exploring the possibility of having a main vendor on site selling games, but this can't be confirmed at the moment.

The convention space and main hotel facilities are all on one floor, so shouldn't present an issue for anyone with mobility issues. If you have any other accessibility concerns, please reach out via e-mail.
