One definition of a flea market is an outdoor market for selling second hand goods. Origin, I believe, are outdoor markets a couple centuries ago that sold used bedding, often infested with fleas; thus the name.
I agree with iceman.

The only perception mistake might be to label this a "flea market".
"Flea Market" has a certain vibe attached to it and people usually don't
want to spend more than a dollar or two at a flea market.
Change this to Exhibit Hall or Vendor's Area. Don't give it a flea market
mentality, or this will discount and cheapen the convention. It can be an
Exhibit Hall with very reasonable table fees, but please don't call it a "flea
market".
