FAQ
A few things to know
Is the Village Expo free?
Yes. Admission will be free with registration for both Expo days. Registration is not open yet. Festival pass holders already have Village access and will not need another purchase.
What is there to do on site?
Meet hiring employers on Main Street and The Corner Lot, talk to startups on Builders' Row, find training and community support in The Commons, and browse The Village Market. Resume reviews and professional headshots run both days, and employers have interview rooms for on-the-spot conversations.
Which employers are taking part?
No employers are confirmed yet. We will publish participating organizations and verified opportunities as they are confirmed, with hiring employers clearly distinguished from other exhibitors.
Does Expo registration cover the whole festival?
No. Expo admission covers the Village on August 12-13 only. Other C-Tribe Festival events may require a festival pass or separate ticket.
Can my business take part?
Applications are open for employers, startups, community and training organizations, curated marketplace vendors, and partners. Applying is free. A submission is not a confirmed booth or reservation.
