Vendor Opportunities

Vendors are a key part of what makes The Girlfriend Connective gatherings fun, vibrant, and memorable — bringing experiences, products, and moments of delight to our community.

  • We’re looking for vendors who offer products, services, or experiences that women genuinely enjoy, especially those rooted in wellness, creativity, lifestyle, self-care, food & beverage, and thoughtful local brands.

    If your focus is connection over hard selling, you’ll fit right in.

  • Our Approach: Our events are designed for discovery, conversation, and shared experience.

    While sales may naturally happen, the focus is on building relationships, brand awareness, and creating a positive, memorable presence.

  • While we love supporting women-owned and women-led brands, it’s not a requirement.

    What matters most is alignment with our values and a genuine desire to support community and connection.

  • Vendor opportunities vary by event and may include pop-up tables, interactive experiences, demonstrations, or collaborative activities.

    Vendors may offer brief individual or small-group experiences (approximately 10 minutes). Extended sessions and full workshops are offered by being a Host or Experience Partner.

    Details, pricing, and availability are shared once you apply or inquire.
