  • Partner Opportunities

    Each show that Carahsoft attends can vary in types of available participation for our partners. Below are the opportunities that we offer to our partners:

    Partner Booth - within partner pavilion
    Carahsoft offers our partners the opportunity to purchase a booth within our signature partner pavilion. This allows for Carahsoft to manage their booth, promote their presence, and drive attendance. Partners just need to accommodate for travel and generating their own leads!

    Partner Demo - Within Carahsoft Booth or in Technology Vertical Alley
    First time attending the show? Carahsoft’s partners demos allow our partners to attend and showcase their solution(s) without all of the commitments that come with a booth. Available as a single or multi-day opportunities.

    Partner Sponsorships
    Participating at shows doesn’t have to be in-person. Carahsoft offers sponsorships that allow for not only brand awareness but also the perk of attaining leads without having to send reps to a show.

    For more information, contact Carahsoft’s tradeshow team.

  • What is Carahsoft’s Technology Vertical Alley?

    Within our pavilions, vendor partners can demo their unique solutions with a presence in our Technology Vertical Alley: a zone dedicated to grouping and showcasing technologies within key technology areas, such as AI, Cyber, DevSecOps, OSINT, etc. These zones are comprised of the Vertical Alley booth, staffed by vendor-agnostic Solutions Engineers, and the booths whose vendors sell those technology solutions. 

    For buyers, the Carahsoft Technology Vertical Alleys provide a one-stop shop to learn about new companies and engage with new products. This interactive space invites attendees to discover early-stage and emerging technologies through a series of demo kiosks, meeting spaces, a resource library, and all-day access to vendor-agnostic Solutions Engineers to help them curate a solution that works best for their organization. 

    For vendors, a presence in one of our Technology Vertical Alleys not only provides you with all the benefits of an exhibiting kiosk elsewhere in our pavilion but additionally helps you increase your brand visibility with those attendees seeking solutions within specific technology areas. A kiosk in our Technology Vertical Alley also gives you access to our dedicated Vertical Alley team, on-site to help support you, as well as strategic placement within our pavilion designed to maximize foot traffic.
