In conclusion:
During the event, we faced some challenges, such as
attracting crowds to the booth. However with much enthusiasm and support from
students and lecturers, we managed to pull crowds to the
booth. We also did mobile promotion to the retailers to create awareness of the exhibition and the innovative companies. We realized that after informing and demonstrating to them on how the
technologies work, not only are they keen to know more about the technology
that was being showcase, they also want to know more about the company and
other products and services that are offered by the company. Despite all
the problems that arise, we managed to overcome it and make the event go
smoothly.
Through this event, we have learnt that it is important for us to be able to think of solutions on the spot in order to overcome the hiccups during the event. We have also learnt that communication and keeping ourselves compose at all times is also important.
