From past C-Tribe festivals
No surprises
Pick your zone and tell us about your organization: your current opportunities if you are hiring, or your products if you are joining the Market.
We look at fit, zone, and availability, and may ask a follow-up question before we accept, waitlist, or decline.
Once the venue is secured, accepted exhibitors receive a finalized offer with inclusions, payment, and cancellation terms.
Accept and pay, then set up your profile, job listings, team badges, and interview room time.
The 2027 work-back
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, so earlier is better. This target timeline may shift if venue confirmation requires it; applicants will be notified.
First consideration for founding exhibitors.
Employers and marketplace vendors. Waitlist applications follow.
Accepted applicants receive their next steps.
Acceptance and payment, once the venue and offer are finalized.
Company profiles, logos, and current job listings due.
Team badges and logistics finalized.
Target resume deadline for advance introductions, when that service opens. Not an admission deadline.
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.
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.
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.
Yes. Main Street, The Corner Lot, and Builders' Row exhibitors get access to shared interview rooms. Scheduling details come with your offer.
No. C-Tribe controls access, and candidates must approve sharing with a named employer. No package includes a resume database, bulk export, or guaranteed introductions.
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.
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 does not guarantee a subsidy.
