Why Participate in the Demo Area?

Showcase and Engage Buyers with Hands-on Experiences

CCE 2026’s Equipment & Product Demonstration Area gives exhibitors a high-impact platform to showcase solutions in action. Space is limited and in high demand, offering all CCE exhibitors the chance to engage buyers through hands-on experiences — whether by scheduled demonstrations, on-demand trials, or guided attendee interaction with your equipment and tools.

✅ Accelerate the Sales Process

Demo spaces are your second show location, in addition to your show floor exhibit space, creating an opportunity to drive-traffic with multiple touchpoints! Direct booth visitors to your demo site for live trials. Exhibitors consistently report that hands-on demonstrations lead to faster sales decisions and stronger buyer confidence.

✅ Stand Out From the Competition

This dynamic environment helps you stand out, letting buyers compare products side by side, experience real performance, and make faster, more confident purchasing decisions.

Exhibitors also benefit from extensive promotion: featured placement on the official CCE website, pre-show and on-site marketing, social media highlights, show guide listings, and on-site signage and announcements — maximizing visibility before, during, and after the show.

✅ Featured Promotion by CCE

Each participating exhibitor will be prompoted through CCE’s extensive marketing campaign — including having their equipment, tools, and products featured on the official CCE website within the “Equipment Demo Area” showcase section. This online visibility ensures that your brand and products are highlighted to potential buyers before, during, and after the show.
