BLACK MARKET MILWAUKEE PRESENTS

BEST OF THE BEST

MILWAUKEE SHOWCASE

A combined virtual and on-site vendor opportunity connecting your business, products and services to live events and the Channels.biz digital marketplace.

$100 PER EVENT DATE VIRTUAL + ON-SITE 8 VENDORS PER EVENT DATE

THIS IS NOT JUST A BOOTH

It's a virtual + on-site vendor opportunity combined into one event Network experience.

YOUR FIRST $100 GOES TOWARD YOUR VIRTUAL + ON-SITE VENDING OPPORTUNITY

When you register as a general vendor or competition participant, your $100 event registration connects your on-site vendor opportunity with your digital presence on Channels.biz.

You are not simply paying for a physical booth and walking away after the event. The concept is to give your business a physical presence at the showcase while also building a digital vendor presence that can continue beyond the event.

ADD YOUR PRODUCTS TO CHANNELS.BIZ

You will be able to add your products to Channels.biz. Your products can live on the platform and be available for customers to discover and purchase globally.

YOUR DIGITAL PRESENCE CAN CONTINUE

The physical event is the on-site opportunity. Channels.biz provides the digital side of the opportunity, allowing your products and vendor presence to continue beyond the individual event date.

JOIN THE EVENT NETWORK

General vendors and competition participants are automatically joined to the Black Market Milwaukee Network and receive a Channels.biz AI Agent as part of the opportunity.

ON-SITE VENDOR

Receive one 10' x 10' vendor space for the individual event date you are approved to participate in.

VIRTUAL VENDOR

Build your vendor presence on Channels.biz and add your products to the digital marketplace.

GLOBAL PRODUCT REACH

Products added to Channels.biz can remain available on the platform for customers to discover and purchase globally.

AI AGENT

General vendors and competition participants automatically receive a Channels.biz AI Agent.

EVENT NETWORK
