So, here in the office we are constantly trying to think of ways to make our conferences bigger and better. Sometimes we brainstorm around the conference table, sometimes we do some online research to get our creative juices flowing, and sometimes we just order a really tasty lunch from Pita Jungle and wait for inspiration to come to us via our pita.
One topic that we tend to focus on after each event is how to improve our expo. We love our dedicated vendors like Hydro-Fit, Silpada, Muscle Mixes, Just Jane, Tweedle D and others, and we’re always excited to add new products and services, but we’ve been searching for a way to really make it an EXPERIENCE. After a few brainstorm sessions (and more than a few pitas), we came up with some fresh twists on the standard FitnessFest Expo.
For FitnessFest Scottsdale 2011 at the Valley of the Sun JCC, we are implementing The Expo Experience. Sounds interesting, right? Kind of like an amusement park ride? That’s the first improvement.
And what does the ‘experience’ entail? Well, you’ll still have the traditional vendor booth village. Expo hours are Friday, April 29th and Saturday, April 30th from 10am – 3pm AND Sunday, May 1st from 10am – 1pm… BUT (here’s where the ‘experience’ comes in), we are hosting LIVE, on-stage product and workshop demonstrations all day long, we are asking vendors to come prepared with LOTS of samples, deals and giveaways, we are providing opportunities to boost your energy level before your next workshop, and may have some more surprises in store by the time April rolls around!
Don’t forget that The FitnessFest Expo Experience is open to the public. The JCC will require a photo I.D. to enter, but admittance is FREE and fun will be abundant.
If you have a product or service and would like to be a vendor, call us at (480) 461-3888.
