2018 Conference Speed-Dating Passport

Agent Name: Agency:

Supplier Workshop Saturday’s supplier workshop operates on the speed-dating principle. There will be two sessions this year — one in the morning and one in the afternoon. Both sessions will be divided into ‘dates’, each of which will be 10 minutes in duration.

When each ‘date’ gets to the 8-minute mark, an announcement will be made that there are just two minutes ‘wrap-up’ time left on the clock. This affords each supplier enough time to wrap up their presentation and get agent participants to fill in the answer to that suppliers’ question on their ‘passport’/questionnaire. A countdown clock will also be displayed on the main screen up on stage to help you monitor your timekeeping.

When the 10 minutes are up, all agent participants are expected to move to the next table, whether that be adjacent or not.

This ‘passport’ contains the following: • A list of each supplier who is in attendance at the workshop, together with a brief description of what they do (handy for suppliers that you are unfamiliar with or who you do not currently do business with) • A question based on the content of the presentation delivered to you during your 10-minute ‘date’ with that supplier, together with a space to insert your answer.

• A space for you to insert the time of your visit to that supplier

Because there are more suppliers than there are sessions, no one can possibly see all suppliers. For this reason, staff attending from each agency should not sit together at each supplier table. You need to split up to cover all the suppliers present, between you.

All ‘passports’ are collected at the end of the last session of the day and these completed documents are used to select winners for several major prizes that will be given away at the Gala Dinner on Saturday night. Certain suppliers also donate spot prizes, the recipients of which are chosen by means of draws that take place at each supplier table and which are based on the names of agents who have attended their respective stands throughout the day so it is in every agents interest to visit as many stands as possible as that will increase your chances of winning something!

Details of prize winners for spot prizes will be announced on Saturday afternoon from the main stage and agents are invited to come to the stage to collect their prize when their name is called out.
