Camp TEOTWAWKI - Manchester Kentucky Prepper Show

Why vendors should come:

Camp TEOTWAWKI offers vendors a unique opportunity to connect with a highly targeted audience of preppers, homesteaders, survivalists, and self-sufficiency enthusiasts. Unlike traditional expos, this multi-day immersive experience allows for direct interaction, hands-on demonstrations, and relationship-building with engaged attendees who are ready to invest in practical gear, supplies, and educational materials. Vendors benefit from limited competition, increased brand visibility, and the chance to showcase products in action. Additionally, the event provides networking opportunities with industry experts, speakers, and fellow businesses, fostering long-term customer relationships. With affordable vendor space and options for workshops or sponsorships, Camp TEOTWAWKI is an ideal venue for businesses looking to expand their reach in the preparedness and self-reliance market.

Our expected attendance:

Camp TEOTWAWKI is a growing event, and for this year, we anticipate around 500 attendees. While we are a smaller, more intimate show, this allows vendors to have direct engagement with attendees who are highly interested in preparedness, survival, and self-sufficiency. Our goal is to continue expanding each year, building a strong community of like-minded individuals who are eager to learn, connect, and invest in quality products and services.
