Overview

Your Go-To Partner for Successful Demo Days

What Are Demo Days?

Demo Days are live, interactive online events hosted by associations, connecting qualified buyers with vendors through structured, high-impact product demonstrations.

  • Associations sell demo slots to vendors and promote the event to their members.
  • Buyers engage in a low-pressure, comparison-friendly environment to evaluate solutions.
  • The Matchbox platform provides a Netflix-like interface for easy browsing, live Q&As, and business card drop-offs for follow-ups.

By simplifying vendor research into a single, highly engaging event, Demo Days accelerate decision-making for buyers while delivering tangible value for associations and industry partners.


Why Associations Are Hosting Demo Days

  • Generates significant non-dues revenue
  • Connects vendors with active buyers from your association’s membership base
  • Solves a key challenge—helping members evaluate vendors without unsolicited sales outreach
  • Simplifies complex B2B buying by allowing decision-makers to compare multiple vendors in one day


Proven Success

  • Industry leaders like MassCPAs and AAOE have successfully adopted Demo Days.
  • Vendors report higher-quality leads than traditional sponsorships and advertising.
