The deadline to book exhibition space is October 2 at 11:59 p.m. PT. Missing this deadline means startups will have to wait until the next year for a similar opportunity.

The event attracts over 10,000 attendees including founders, investors, operators, and tech leaders. By exhibiting, startups gain direct access to this highly engaged audience in the Expo Hall, which is the highest traffic area where meaningful connections can be made with potential customers, partners, and media.

The $12,500 exhibit package provides a 6' x 30'' table for three days, 10 team passes, lead-generation tools, branding on the event’s website and app, press-list access, and Silver Tier sponsor branding. This comprehensive set of benefits helps startups maximize their exposure and opportunity for business development.
