Name of assignment

Planning and organising a Trade Fair.

Situation

A Trade Fair is a place to directly communicate with the audience: business-to-business or consumers. On a traditional fair, you have a booth. Some examples of Trade Fairs are ITB Berlin, WTM in London or Dutch Tourism Expo. You can expect a mixed audience of visitors: both press and sector-related professionals, as well as the 'regular' public. In 2021, almost all Trade Fairs are cancelled as a result of COVID, but you still want to reach your goals! We pretend that in 2022 all is as it used to be.

Goal

Make a plan for a Trade Fair which has 3 goals:

• 1. Presenting your new hotel
  

At this fair, you present your company to the press, to the general public, to your competitors and anyone else visiting the fair.

• 2. Adjusting your strategy
  

Listen very carefully to reactions from the visitors, and try to get an idea on the plans of your competitors as well. Accordingly, you can slightly adjust your strategy.

• 3. Creativity
  

Your performance at the Trade Fair by presenting yourself in a consistent and creative way contributes to the success in the Competition on Creativity.

Task, deliverable

• What are the instructions to your staff in the booth or on the Trade fair? Interaction with visitors?
• Make a script, roadmap for the Trade Fair, from gathering the stuff needed for the booth, to the 'building' of the boot, till cleaning up.
• How do you stay in contact with the public/those interested afterwards?
• How will you measure the result of your booth related to the goals in a concrete way?
