Trunk Show

The Trunk Show is an opportunity for Costume College attendees with costuming related businesses to display and sell their goods while still being able to attend classes. It is also an opportunity for our attendees to support their fellow costumer’s entrepreneurial endeavors. 

Truck Show Vendors have two hours each to display their wares, located on the second floor breezeway just outside the classrooms.

As a reminder, it is against the Sheraton Gateway Los Angeles Hotel’s policy to conduct sales in hotel guest rooms. The Trunk Show endeavor makes it a win/win for all of our attendees. Who doesn’t love another opportunity to shop?
