Craft Focus - Dec 2017/Jan 2018 (Issue 64)

learn, connect and discover A warm welcome Don’t miss the Newbie Welcome Session and the Icebreaker Happy Hour on Thursday evening. If you’re a first-timer to Creativation, we suggest attending the Welcome Session to find out what to do during your stay and to meet some new colleagues and industry associates. The Icebreaker Happy Hour will follow the session, and this will be a good chance to grab a drink, network and make quality connections before the rest of the week begins. A ticket is required, so make sure to register for these sessions. Fill your days on the shop floor Continue your experience with workshops and seminars during our education program and end Friday evening at the New Product Networking Event, where you’ll get an exclusive preview of exhibitors’ new products before the tradeshow floor opens. This is a great opportunity to meet the manufacturers who created these products, plan which booths to visit the next morning, have a drink and network with your peers. Saturday is filled with exciting events starting with breakfast and a presentation for our Industry and Hall of Fame Awards. Shortly after we recognise prestigious colleagues, and welcome our Keynote Speaker Shama Hyder, who will be speaking on the topic of ‘Growing Your Brand in the Digital Age’ – a topic that is so pertinent in today’s times and important when trying to do business overseas. 36 craft focus
