+
+### Job Booths
+
+Employers can rent job booths at Handmade Boston or Handmade Seattle for a fixed rate. The price is the same for all companies, regardless of size.  
+
+This setup creates a win-win-win scenario:  
+- Handmade Cities earns meaningful revenue from booth rentals.  
+- Employers gain access to a large in-person audience, which naturally acts as a strong resume filter.  
+- Ticket holders have the opportunity to meet employers and potentially get hired. 
+
+Importantly, employers are not allowed to sponsor or influence the event itself. Job booth revenue is also intentionally kept much smaller than ticket sales to prevent any risk of a hostile takeover.
+
+### Demo Booths
+
+At the time of writing demo booths are free of charge once your submission is approved. If this changes in the future we will install a program for the financially disadvantaged [as we do](/operation2030/business/tickets) for conference tickets.
+
+**Secretary's Note:** The reason this may change is because venues started raising their fees significantly for renting trade show floors. We must adapt with the times.
