Our standards

A career-first floor

At least 80% of the floor is reserved for career-related exhibitors. The Village Market takes no more than 20%.

Hiring employers bring current, verified opportunities. Training, community and networking organizations are labelled separately, so attendees always know who is hiring.

What we look for

  • Clear, accurate opportunities and organization information.
  • A welcoming experience for underestimated talent.
  • No pay-to-apply recruitment, misleading job claims or unauthorized attendee data collection.
  • A commitment to the C-Tribe code of conduct.

Exhibitor FAQ

Your questions

Which zone is right for us?
Main Street is for employers with current openings, and The Corner Lot adds featured placement and a bigger team. Builders' Row is for early-stage startups that are hiring. The Commons is for community organizations and training providers. The Village Market is for independent makers selling products. Town Hall is for partners bringing a service, accessibility support or an activation. Not sure? Apply anyway and we will help you choose.
Will I be charged when I apply?
No. The application is free. Pricing is indicative until the venue and package details are finalized. If accepted, you will receive an offer with payment and cancellation terms before making a commitment.
Can we interview candidates on site?
Yes. Main Street, The Corner Lot and Builders' Row exhibitors get access to shared interview rooms. Scheduling details come with your offer.
Does my package include access to resumes?
No. C-Tribe controls access, and candidates must approve sharing with a named employer. No package includes a resume database, bulk export or promised introductions.
Can we exhibit if we are not currently hiring?
Yes, if your organization fits The Commons, Builders' Row as a startup showcase, or The Village Market. Only employers with verified current opportunities are labelled as hiring.
Are subsidies available?
A limited number of subsidized spaces in The Commons are planned. You can describe your needs in the application. Assistance is subject to review and funding; applying is not a promise of a subsidy.
