Creativity Award for EPHEC experiment

The EPHEC Trade Show of Arteveldehogeschool in Ghent has won the creativity award of Flanders DC. The award was presented during an event of the Unizo federation of SME honoring the most enterprising school.

Every year the Education & Enterprise Foundation and Flanders District of Creativity reward schools that creatively integrate aspects of entrepreneurship in their educational programs. Schools at every level can compete. On the high school level, the special Creativity Award by Flanders District of Creativity went to Arteveldehogeschool in Ghent for the EPHEC trade show project.
The EPHEC trade show had its second edition in December 2008. The idea behind the project is to make students in marketing and sales familiar with all aspects of a trade fair, - including talking to visitors in a foreign language. To create a realistic setting, Arteveldehogeschool joined forces with EPHEC, a high school based in Brussels and Louvain-la-Neuve with French speaking programs. Students from both schools were trained for their role as either an exhibitor or a trade show visitor and consequently put to the test: negotiating at a (almost) real booth with an (almost) real exhibitor.
Expo-id assisted in training both groups of students well ahead of the event and was one of the observers during the event in the Ghent ICC venue.

Strictly business

The Ghent based business school Arteveldehogeschool organized a networking event during the building show Batibouw. Expo-id added some pizzazz with a business speed date.

The national building show Batibouw was a unique opportunity for the Arteveldehogeschool business school to organize an event for lecturers, alumni, students and external experts who contribute to the Business Event Management program. The program managers explained last year’s results and unfolded further plans for the program.
To tail the event, Expo-id organized a business speed dating session for lecturers, students and external experts. Some thirty students and lecturers faced experts from the trade show and events industry with one clear mission: get acquainted in a few minutes only. The session immediately became very animated, filling the VIP-room with chatter.
