Quilt Market Credentials

Quilt Market is a trade show and not open to the general public. Proof of business and employee credentials are required to attend Market. At this time, we ask that credentials be submitted with your Market enrollment.

Credentials include two different categories (or badge types) and several options for businesses to provide documentation in order to qualify to attend Market. These options enable legitimate businesses of many types and sizes to qualify to attend Quilt Market. Badge type does not limit purchasing power with Market vendors.

NOTE: You may submit credentials with your registration once enrollment for the show opens.

NOTE: Employees must verify employment to attend Market as a representative of a business for each Market they attend. Please submit one of the following items with the below credentials:

  • Copy of most recent cancelled company payroll check or paycheck stub
  • Employee work contract signed by both employer and employee detailing work agreement and method of compensation.
