With pre-show registration pacing well ahead of last year, the room block at the CVxEXPO26 official host hotel, the Marriott Renaissance Hotel & Conference Center in Phoenix, Ariz., has sold out. Not to worry, however, as there are several excellent hotel options within walking distance of the show venue where technology advisors, MSPs, TSDs and channel managers leading service providers will convene Nov. 17-18.
Though there are many choices nearby, here are the closest accommodations to the CVxEXPO26 venue:
- Tru by Hilton Phoenix Glendale Westgate (0.1 mile away)
- Home2 Suites by Hilton Phoenix Glendale-Westgate (0.2 mile away)
- Hampton Inn & Suites Phoenix Glendale-Westgate (0.3 mile away)
- Aloft Glendale at Westgate (0.7 mile away)
All of these locations allow attendees to take full advantage of the Westgate Entertainment District. Arizona’s newest and fastest-growing entertainment destination is adjacent to the expo and home to dozens of restaurants, specialty shops, bars and entertainment options.
The $1 billion, 223-acre development is the epicenter of the area’s thriving sports and entertainment scene. To get a lay of the land prior to your arrival, take a virtual tour of the complex.
Partner MeetUps
The vibrant area is also close to where CVxEXPO’s after-hours social networking opportunities will be held. The show’s Partner Meetups are fully hosted on-site and off-site entertainment-based activities in which vendors host small, intimate groups of show attendees for post-show food and festivities. The MeetUps are free to registered attendees and include food and drinks courtesy of the MeetUp sponsors.
These activities are a great way for attendees and sponsors to interact and build relationships in a pitch-free, fun-filled environment. Sign-ups are open for all Partner MeetUps scheduled this year. Each will take place on Tuesday, Nov. 17 at 7:30 p.m. They include:
- Indoor E-Kart Racing (Sponsored by C3 Complete)
- 7D Xperience Thrill Ride (Sponsored by Telnyx)
- Spark Duckpin Bowling (Sponsored by Lumen Technologies)
Impactful Education & Expo Hall
Of course, the best advantage to staying in or near the host hotel is proximity to the heart of CVxEXPO26, namely unrivaled education led by some of the brightest minds in the channel as well as a packed expo hall featuring cutting-edge products and industry-leading service providers.
CVxEXPO26’s schedule of highly curated, high-value training and panel discussions promises to deliver a direct impact on the daily operations and bottom-line business of attending channel partners and MSPs. From AI certification, cybersecurity and next-gen connectivity to sales tactics, new revenue opportunities and leadership guidance, the two days of general and concurrent breakout sessions will dive deep into the most pressing topics and technologies in the communications and network services channel.
This year’s expo hall is nearly sold out and promises to be a buzz of activity where attendees can discover the latest industry innovations. Among the highlights is the AI Demo Café, which will serve as a neutral and welcoming space for channel partners to watch live demos presented by CVxEXPO26 exhibitors and sponsors as well as discuss strategies for marketing and selling those solutions directly with vendor representatives. Among the leading providers that have committed to demo presentations are AI Demo Café sponsor Palomarr, Genesys, Zoom, YellowAI and 8×8.
