Why Partner With BarterCon

A Room Full of Entrepreneurs Actually Building

BarterCon is the official way Barter Black® is celebrating its five-year anniversary. Partners are not sponsoring a passive program. They are showing up inside a working day built for entrepreneurs.

A working room, not a passive audience

Entrepreneurs arrive with a goal and spend the day building. Partners meet founders in the middle of real decisions about tools, spend and growth.

A five-year community, not a one-day list

Barter Black® has spent five years building a bartering marketplace where entrepreneurs exchange value and hire one another. BarterCon brings that community into one room.

Product usage, not impressions alone

The strongest partnerships give attendees something to actually use, so engagement continues long after February 19.

Curated and intentional

We are inviting a select group of partners. Recognition stays clear and uncrowded, so every partner is genuinely seen.

Your Brand's BarterCon Journey

Before, During and After February 19

Every partnership is built as a sequence, so visibility turns into engagement and engagement turns into continued product usage.

  1. 01

    Before BarterCon

    Your company is introduced to the Barter Black® community through conference promotion, partner announcements and program materials.

  2. 02

    During BarterCon

    You are recognized in the room, with approved on-site opportunities and, for select partnerships, a short speaking moment with entrepreneurs.

  3. 03

    In the Activation Rooms

    Entrepreneurs complete hands-on Business Activations while your brand is present in the space where the work happens.

  4. 04

    After BarterCon

    Your products, tools, credits or services stay in front of attendees through post-event resources and continued ecosystem engagement.

Sponsorship Investments

Choose the Partnership That Fits Your Goals

Each partnership is intentionally scoped so recognition stays clear and every partner is genuinely seen. BarterCon controls all presenters, programming and educational content.

How the partnerships stay distinct

  • Only the Founding Presenting Partner may choose to create one approved full brand experience.
  • Founding Presenting Partners and Activation Room Partners receive short speaking opportunities.
  • Activation Room Partners may have an optional table in their assigned room.
  • Activation Room Partners do not sponsor or control individual Business Activations.
  • Companies may support the overall Business Activation Program or another approved conference experience.
  • BarterCon controls all presenters, programming and educational content.

Financial and In-Kind Partnerships

Contribute Dollars, Products or Both

Financial partnerships fund the conference experience. In-kind partnerships put real products, platform access, software credits, services, printing, catering or technology directly into the hands of entrepreneurs.

Many partners combine both. We will build a custom scope with you based on what your company wants entrepreneurs to walk away using.

Build Beyond BarterCon

The conference is one day. The relationship does not have to be. Partners can stay connected to entrepreneurs through post-event resources, offers inside the Barter Black® bartering marketplace and continued presence as the community grows toward the next BarterCon.
