Day of Event

Agenda

Orientation

For the orientation, we will all be together in the main room. Both media and exhibitors. We’ll go over the basics and answer questions.

Breakout Rooms

After that, media and exhibitors will be paired up into break out rooms for 5-minute one-on-one conversations.

You’ll get a 30-second countdown, then everyone will automatically be back in the main room.

Rotation

We will then move the exhibitors to the next break out room to speak with a new media person.

This process will continue until each of the exhibitors has met every media attendee.

Break Between Rounds

There will be a lunch break, then Round 2 will be the same process as Round 1 with new media attendees.

What to send for the Media

Sample Box

The media always comment how helpful it is
to have all the samples and information presented in one box.

We want this box to be exciting and complete
in order to bookend the virtual event with something tanglable.

What to send

Each brand is required to send something for the Media Sample Box. 

Ideally it would be product samples of the item/s you are pitching at the event, along with some basic information.

Quantity Needed

Please send 35 samples of your product and any additional press information (USB or paper) you would like the media to have after the event.

What to send if your product is Perishable, too big, too expensive, has a surcharge, etc.

If your product is not easily shipped for whatever reason, consider sending a coupon or promo code for them to aquire the product on their own.

For expensive items, consideer sending a look book and product information sheets, or a card with a QR code for easy access to images, a video and/or more information.

The media are tired of promotional items, they are enough keychains and mugs.  Don’t waste your money.

We all want this box to look beautiful and enticing when they open it!
