MATCHBOX DEMO DAYS
Make some serious dollars for your organization.
Build stronger relationships with industry partners while providing a valuable service to members.
What Are Demo Days?
Matchbox Demo Days are thoughtfully designed online events where your association brings together a curated selection of vendors from similar product categories to showcase their technology and services to your members—an engaged audience of potential buyers. These events create a low-pressure, collaborative environment where attendees can explore solutions, ask questions, and make more confident, informed purchasing decisions.
A Matchbox Demo Days series provides a new member benefit, strengthens relationships with industry partners, and becomes a new source of sustainable, recurring non-dues revenue.
Why Matchbox?
Matchbox simplifies the planning and execution of Demo Days by becoming an extension of your team, ensuring a seamless experience that delivers exceptional value to both members and vendors.
From start to finish, we provide expert guidance, customized resources, and a purpose-built platform to make your Demo Days initiative a resounding success.
BENEFITS OF DEMO DAYS
Matchbox Demo Days offer substantial value for every stakeholder involved. Many clients are now running these events as a regular series due to their success.
For Members
Demo Days allow attendees to compare offerings from multiple vendors at once, making an overwhelming purchasing process more simple and efficient.
For Industry Partners
Demo Days provide direct access to qualified leads already considering purchases in their product category, shortening the sales process.
For Your Association
A Matchbox Demo Days series provides a new member benefit, strengthens relationships with industry partners, and creates a new source of sustainable non-dues revenue.
SUCCESS STORY
Seeing a need from members for information on technology solutions, ASAE, the American Society of Association Executives, asked themselves, rather than having an “expo hall” that runs alongside an existing education experience, what would happen if they created a dedicated online event experience for buyers?
Originally piloted as a single event, Demo Days quickly expanded into a successful monthly series, attracting new partners and significantly increasing sponsor investment. Demo Days have become a key driver of ASAE’s strategic growth and revenue goals.
The Matchbox Difference
Matchbox Professional Services extend the scope of your internal team. We work side by side with you to ensure smooth delivery of successful online Demo Days.
Before each event, Matchbox coordinates with vendors, gathering marketing collateral for the platform and providing training to ensure polished, effective demos.
On event days, we handle the chat moderation, in-session troubleshooting, and a green room to put presenters at ease.
Think of us as your team-extender!
Let us take care of making sure everyone is set up for success, so you can be present to fully participate in and enjoy the experience.
