PROBLEM
Meeting your customers face-to-face is the most important way to build your following, but putting on your own events is costly and challenging.
Having your own store is the holy grail of retail—but signing long-term leases without vetting spaces is risky.
Building a brand is tough, plain and simple. Not to mention scaling your brand, which means spending time and effort finding the right partners.
SOLUTION
Participate in an AF retail event where you’ll meet 3-5K targeted consumers, retail buyers, editors, and like-minded founders in just two days.
Our centralized platform features hundreds of retail storefront listings enabling you to find the perfect storefront and move in after days not months. Plus, you can test drive a space before signing a long-term lease.
We’ve done the all the hard work finding not only the best partners, but the ones that are worth teaming up with, no matter how big or small your brand is.

“We have proudly participated in AF since its inception. It's the only event out there that has remained true to its roots of promoting quality and innovative design”

FOUNDER, GENERAL KNOT
VENDOR SINCE 2015
“Three years ago when I first became a vendor at AF, I had no idea how to push my brand to the next level. Working with the AF team and alongside other emerging brands, I learned so much about the potential of Remblerose. Investing my time and energy into this show was a game-changer for brand awareness, consistent sales, and the opportunity to reach an entirely new audience in locations away from home.”
