- A video they use to teach employees a skill, along with points
for discussion. - Posters showing a team celebrating an achievement.
Explain at preregistration that participants will be setting up an
exhibit. Each person should prepare a banner or poster and bring
all the equipment and supplies they need to make their part of the
exhibit attractive and inviting.
Step 2: As each person arrives for the exhibit session, give them a name tag with
an “Exhibitor” ribbon attached. Assign each individual a specific table or
wall space for his or her items. Provide the group with materials for
exhibit signs that show each person’s name and organizational affiliation.
Step 3: When all of the exhibits are set up, invite people to mingle and network
in the Exhibit Hall (refreshments optional). Suggest that participants note
the names of anyone with whom they are interested in having an
extended conversation.
Step 4: Ask the following questions:
- What was the most useful exhibit—one that gave you ideas you
can use? - Whom did you meet that you would want to meet again?
- What suggestions do you have for “saving” these exhibits, so we
can return to them later on?
