Professional Development: Successful Trade Event Planning


A Professional Development Day for Craft businesses and designer-makers wishing to exhibit at trade events and craft fairs.

The event will provide all the steps required to have a successful show including planning, people, promotion, display, and funding and follow up.

The day will be hosted by Clare Phillips and Michelle Bowen, specialist consultants working within the Crafts who will share their experience of the leading trade events for the crafts and design sectors within the UK and Internationally.

They will shed light on events from the buyer, commissioner and collectors perspective.

Teri Kelly PR will be advising on contacting and liaising with the press in order to maximize your profile at an event.

I attended this development programme on Tuesday and couldn't rate it any higher. It gave you all you needed to know in a very precise and informative way and well worth it for anybody thinking about exhibiting at a trade show or craft fair.
The best professional training day I have attended in a long time. Now just left with loads of homework and research and some research trips next year!
