02 Direct Tools to Inform

02

Direct tools to inform, such as public presentations and meetings, press conferences, information stands, etc.

Questions to ask beforehand:
01
What is the purpose of the event or information stand?
02
Is there an existing kiosk or space we could use, or do we need to build one? Do we need a specific design or branding for it?
03
How many participants do you expect? Should participants only listen or also engage in discussion?
04
What existing resources do we have? Is there a space available to host the event, or do we need to rent one? Do we need any technical equipment – audio system, video recording setup – or should these be rented?
05
What is our budget? How much time do we have for preparation?
