Vendors operating wholly within a closed convention are not required to obtain individual business licenses for operation within a closed convention, and may operate only by virtue of the operation being a part of a properly conducted closed convention.

(c)

Operation of a closed convention or operation by vendors within a closed convention shall not constitute an exemption from the requirements otherwise prescribed by this Code including, but not limited to, regulation by Title 5, or other local, state or federal law or regulation or administrative policy pertaining to such activities.
