Your event gathers the right people. Let's help it earn more.
A trade show or event is a rare thing, a concentrated, high-intent audience gathered in one place at one time. Brands want access to that, but matching the right brands to your event, beyond your existing exhibitor list, is slow and manual. ZOMZEY opens it up. Brands post real, paid opportunities, exhibition features, speaking slots, sponsored sessions, showcase placements, and you choose the ones that fit your event and your audience.
How it works for trade shows
It’s straightforward. Browse opportunities from brands wanting access to a focused audience like yours. See one that fits? Make your offer and set your terms, a feature, a slot, a placement, a sponsorship. If they choose you, you deliver the exposure, and you get paid securely through the platform. You stay in control, you only ever take on what fits your event and your audience.
What makes ZOMZEY different
On ZOMZEY, you’re valued for what you actually deliver, not how big your social following is. Every deal you complete builds your verified track record, and the stronger that record grows, the higher you rank and the more authors and publishers seek you out. It’s a visibility flywheel: do great work, get found for it, win more. Every Member is verified and every deal is funded through ZOMZEY Protected Payments before you start, so you know it’s real. We built ZOMZEY so independent spaces get rewarded for the trust they’ve earned.

Sponsors for your trade show: your questions
Is ZOMZEY free for a trade show?
Yes. A trade show or exhibition joins free as a Hub, is listed in Discover free and pays commission only when a paid deal completes. Shops and Communities Pro is optional and lowers the commission once you are trading regularly; the pricing page lists every figure, and there is no listing fee and no charge for being found.
How is trade show sponsorship paid on ZOMZEY?
The brand funds the deal under Protected Payments before the show. You deliver the agreed slot, placement or sponsorship, upload evidence such as dated photographs from the floor, the programme page or the attendee mailing, and the payment is released to your payout method once the Member approves it within the review window.
What can a trade show sell on ZOMZEY?
Everything a sponsor values: a stand or a featured position, a speaking slot or a demo session, a mention in the programme and the attendee mailings, a lanyard or bag sponsorship, a place in the show app, or an introduction to the buyers who attend. Each item goes on your rate card with a clear description and a price.
Does trade show sponsorship need to be labelled?
Yes. A sponsored slot, feature or mention must be clearly identifiable as sponsorship in the programme, the mailing and on the floor. The ASA and CMA guidance linked above explains what counts, and clear labelling is what keeps the trust of the audience a trade show has built.
What evidence does a trade show upload?
Dated photographs of the stand, slot or placement, copies of the programme page and the mailings that carried the mention, and the attendance or lead figures the offer promised. Evidence lives on the deal page, so approval is against what you both agreed rather than from memory.
How does a trade show attract the right sponsors?
Describe your attendees honestly by sector and role, show past sponsorships in your showcase, connect your accounts so your figures are validated, and keep your rate card current. Every completed deal adds a review and lifts your Star tier, which is what brands compare when they choose a trade show to sponsor.
Can a trade show sell sponsorship for next year’s event now?
Yes. Post the opportunity with the dates, deliver when the show runs, and upload the evidence afterwards. The Protected Payment stays held until the sponsor approves the delivery, so both sides are covered across the gap between booking and the event.
In short, a trade show earns on ZOMZEY by selling the floor, the programme and the audience it already has, with the payment protected until the show has happened. ZOMZEY brings the sponsors to you and keeps the record.
