Glad for the chance to provide feedback! Very well-run event. We noticed and enjoyed:
Room prepped, safety sweeps throughout event
Reception for vendors was ready
Sufficient set up time
Good logistics, parking, space
Lots of offers for help, unloading, foodrunner offers to the Chik-Fil-A for vendors manning tables, general, loading
Breakdown crew was ON IT, with efficiency and good humor
The live music was a a real plus (in fact we like "piped in music",recorded or even radio, to create a buzz and atmosphere (student project?)
Glad one vendor had bags, folks were juggling a lot of info (nice touch for a vendor to provide)
We value the caliber of conversations at fairs and expos and we found them at this event. Often we lament as vendors that at some events attendees want to see what you have as giveaways (and that is when the aforementioned bags can be a drawback) and are not interested in conversation. We feel this quality of the conversations begins with the messaging and promotion of the event, how it is billed, the promotion. Good job here, folks wanted to talk and were truly seeking solutions. Thank you for the opportunity to participate.
