Curated display space

Visibility without a dedicated booth.

Not every team requires a full exhibition stand. The curated display space offers a shared, hosted format for projects that need visibility without the operational overhead.
Projects are presented within a dedicated area managed by the AltNext team. Visitors can explore materials, demos, or playable elements and request direct follow-up with the project teams.
This format ensures continuous visibility throughout the Market, even when teams are not permanently present on the floor.
