Conferences and events are important gathering places. It’s a way to see and be seen; connect with industry movers and shakers; and gain access to new ideas. But exhibiting at or even just attending top events can be out of the reach of many startups.

They get to pitch their companies and present their ideas where prospective customers, partners and investors will see them and view them as thought leaders and experts.
