Experience Smarter Networking with Proximity Intel

This year's 2026 National HUBZone Conference Exhibit Hall will be powered by Proximity Intel—an AI- and GIS-driven matchmaking platform designed to help attendees make more meaningful, strategic connections throughout the event.

Rather than relying on chance encounters, Proximity Intel analyzes your profile, interests, capabilities, and business objectives to identify organizations that best align with your goals. The platform then provides an interactive map of the Exhibit Hall, allowing you to visualize where your strongest connections are located and navigate directly to the companies, agencies, and partners most relevant to you.

The more information you include in your profile, the more personalized and accurate your recommendations will be. Completing your profile helps the system better understand your organization and generate higher-quality matches.

Beginning July 10, registered attendees will receive instructions to activate their accounts and complete their Proximity Intel profiles. We encourage everyone to complete their profiles as early as possible to maximize their matchmaking opportunities and arrive at the conference with a personalized networking strategy already in place.

Don't just walk the Exhibit Hall—navigate it with purpose.
