VARTECH 2026 (Sept 21& 22), the channel's biggest and most anticipated show, is heading to New England, specifically the Mohegan Sun in Uncasville, CT. It presents a unique opportunity for ISVs to meet and develop relationships with hundreds of resellers, manufacturers, and the BlueStar team. The year's theme, "Where Builders Gather," emphasizes collaboration and the idea that we all contribute to developing ideal solutions to end users' challenges.
VARTECH is a highly choreographed event where all attendees move together through general sessions, education tracks, time on the tradeshow floor, and unique evening networking events. The show emphasizes building relationships and finding new opportunities to grow your business, offering hours of face-to-face time and information on the trends, hot topics, and new technologies shaping industries such as supply chain, retail, hospitality, healthcare, and more.
In addition to top hardware vendors sponsoring and displaying their latest tech at the show, BlueStar understands the importance of software in completing a solution and provides resellers with an arsenal of options to win every aspect of an opportunity. That's why we need software companies to exhibit at VARTECH 2026!
This was one of the best VARTECHs I have been to. I thought the engagement from the Bluestar team, vendors, and resellers was top-notch. I had a blast.

What Do ISVs Gain from VARTECH?
The kind of exposure you'll receive by exhibiting at VARTECH is hard to quantify, but let's say you tried to visit 10 resellers in a year to develop partnerships. If you spent $1,500 each on travel, entertainment, and meals, that's $15,000. At VARTECH, we're helping you meet 100 times more potential partners, at a fraction of the cost, all in one place!
