Agent Name: Agency:
Supplier Workshop The supplier workshop operates on the speed-dating principle. The workshop will be divided into ‘dates’, each of which will be 8 minutes in duration. When each ‘date’ gets to the 6-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 prizes that will be given away at the Gala Dinner on Saturday night. Some suppliers will donate spot prizes. To be in with a chance to win, simply fill in your details on the provided cards at the prize-giving supplier’s table at the end of your visit. Visiting as many stands as possible will increase your chances of winning something! Suppliers will draw their spot prize winners at the end of the workshop. The winners will be announced on over the room PA and called up for to recieve their prize and have a photo taken. Be sure to keep an ear out for your name as if you’re not in the room, the supplier will need to draw another winner.
