Why was my application declined?
Application decisions are made by the organizer, not by Convene. Common reasons for a declined application include the event being at capacity, a product category overlap with existing vendors, or an incomplete vendor profile.
If your application was declined, consider reaching out to the organizer directly to ask for feedback. Many organizers are happy to explain their decision and may invite you to apply again for a future date.
In the meantime, browse other events on the platform. A declined application at one event doesn't affect your standing anywhere else.
