Sell on MultiVendor
Host a virtual trade show or exhibition on MultiVendor Market
Industry associations, publishers, community organizers and businesses can list expos and exhibitions as events in their own MultiVendor shop. Set the date and time zone, choose a physical venue or add the link to the streaming or meeting tool you run the show on, and limit registrations if your format needs it — an automatic waitlist collects anyone beyond capacity. Reminder emails go out before the event. Registration payments go directly to your own Stripe or PayPal account; MultiVendor never holds your money and charges a subscription for the software.

Sell in Virtual Trade Shows & Exhibitions
- Industry ExposSector-focused expos where many companies in one industry present products, services and ideas to professionals in that field, held online, at a venue or in a hybrid format.

- Supplier ShowcasesEvents where manufacturers, wholesalers and service providers present what they can supply to retailers, small brands and business buyers, online or in person.
- Creator ShowcasesEvents that put independent creators in the spotlight — makers, illustrators, designers, crafters and digital artists — presenting their work, process and new releases to an audience.
- Product ExhibitionsEvents built around specific products — launches, live demonstrations and exhibitions of new releases — where companies and makers show what a product does and answer questions in real time.
Tips for selling virtual trade shows & exhibitions
- Publish a clear program with session times and exhibitor names so attendees can plan their day.
- State the time zone prominently and consider scheduling for the regions your attendees come from.
- Explain exactly how attendees reach exhibitors, whether through live Q&A, scheduled calls or follow-up contact.
- Use share links for each exhibitor so you can see which partners bring in registrations.
- Create QR codes for printed materials and venue signage at hybrid shows.
- Tell attendees in advance whether sessions will be recorded.
Start a virtual trade show and exhibitions marketplace
If you serve an industry or creative community, you can build a home for its shows and exhibitions. MultiVendor lets you launch a marketplace with your own brand, custom domain and categories, and invite organizers or exhibitors as sellers. The AI builder sets up the structure, branding and seller requirements, and each seller connects their own payments, so you run the marketplace without handling anyone else's money.
Ideas to start from
- → A virtual expo marketplace for one industry, such as food production or packaging
