E X H I B I T I N G AT T H E 2 0 1 4 ‘ P O S S A B L E ’ I D E A S E X P O – ‘ B E ST I N S H OW ’The PossABLE IDEAS EXPO is back in the Hunter in 2014 and invites you to be involved in this year’s innovative program, at the Maitland Show Ground November 14 & 15.

The event aims to give people with disabilities, their families and carers the opportunity to see, hear and try the best local, national and international options to assist them in making important decisions in all areas of their lives. These choices and connections will support their independent life designs.

It is the dedication to the rights, choices and wellbeing of people with disabilities, their families and carers, and those who work in and around sector that brings us together at PossABLE, and this intention, energy and enthusiasm changes lives.

In today’s market driven environment, IDEAS understand that the best intentions need to be positive for the bottom line. You need to decide what gives you the best ‘bang for your buck’ in regards to your precious marketing dollar. Here are some facts to consider.

2 0 1 3 P O S S A B L EIn 2013 The PossABLE IDEAS EXPO attracted over 100 exhibitors and 4500 guests. With the success of last year’s event, further development of our sales and marketing program, business alliances and local contacts we expect to exceed this number significantly.

Guests attending the event come with an intention to explore their choices and make connections.

The 2013 PossABLE IDEAS EXPO attracted solid media coverage leading up to and during the event, through 1233 ABC Newcastle and NBN Television.

The Newcastle Herald ran a special feature including the event program and map on the Friday before the event, this feature attracted 12 pages of advertisements and won the best national feature for Fairfax in 2013.

IDEAS is a Not for Profit Independent Information Services Provider for people with disability, their families and carers as well as those working in and around the industry. IDEAS has 30 years of experience in planning, managing and facilitating large regional expos

If we haven’t already convinced you, some further reasons to exhibit at The 2014 PossABLE Expo include:

• The 2014 PossABLE IDEAS Expo provides a highly targeted sales and marketing platform. Our guests; individuals with disabilities, their carers and supporters really need what you’re offering. This is your chance to give them choices and solutions! • The event provides you with the opportunity to have face to face two way communication with your customers and service users. Find out what they want and have the opportunity to give them information in a highly personalised way. You may also get important insights into how to provide better and more widespread service and develop new creative products and service ideas. • Increase your brand awareness and potentially reach those individuals who do not currently know what you offer. • Generate sales. • Utilise the event as a platform to launch new products and services. • Demonstrate a commitment to the industry by being involved and supporting the event. • Perfect opportunity to consider, approach and build profitable partnerships and alliances with other supplier and services providers. Find out how you can work together. • Discover what others in the market place are doing.

Maitland Showground is the perfect venue for a fun filled ‘Best in Show’ theme, and will again incorporate a large industry expo as well as comprehensive seminar, RAVE Lounge, Sport and Leisure and Art and Culture programs ….and many other fun filled themed activities.

Following from the event’s previous success there is already a great deal of interest in the exhibition, however due to the size and configuration of the venue, there will be less exhibitor space opportunities. You are therefore advised to register your interest early to avoid disappointment as demand for space is high. Registrations will be available at www.possableideasexpo.com.au In the meantime don’t hesitate to call us on 1800 029 904.

We look forward to working with you to make a difference to the lives of people with disability, their families and carers in the Hunter.

Yours sincerely,

Angela Van Den Berg

A B O U T T H E E V E N TThe name ‘PossABLE’ embraces the ideals of person centred systems, ability and believing anything is possible in enabling people with disability to achieve an independent and fulfilled life. This year Maitland Showground is the perfect venue for a fun and exciting ‘Best in Show’ theme.

The 2014 PossABLE IDEAS EXPO – Best in Show is much more than an expo, it is a rich multifaceted event giving all people with disabilities ( including age related disabilities), their families, carers and supporters the opportunity to come along free of charge to see, hear, try and learn about the huge range of products and services available to them. This showcase supports informed decision making about all matters of importance to them, which is the foundation of the person centred approach.

Opportunities and choices available at this year’s PossABLE encompass much more than that needed to live a comfortable life, although these are crucial. While providing information to assist people with important decisions related to the day to day, we will also deliver the creative spark so easily forgotten in our busy and stress filled lives. We do this through joyous, inspiring and motivational experiences which will help people explore their own preferences and interests and discover what brings them joy and connection.

This event is also important to those working in and around the disability sector. With the unprecedented changes toward a consumer driven market; promotion, marketing and connection have never been so crucial. Learning about industry changes and lessons learnt so far, networking, developing strategic alliances, partnerships and understanding where everyone fits, including your own organisation will be critical for success in the years to come.

People with disability, their families, carers, supporters and friends as well as those individuals working within and around the disability sector, including service providers, support workers, allied health professionals, teachers and consultants etc.

Historically and in general the Friday audience trends strongly toward industry / support industry workers (service providers, support workers, teachers, allied health professional etc) and people with disabilities within care/ respite groups. Saturday tends to be a more family oriented.

The event is advertised nationally; however we expect the majority of the audience to come from intrastate, skewed toward Hunter based guests.

Currently one in four people in Australia have a lived experience of disability (including mental health).

Entry to the event is free of charge, this includes access to some seminars and workshops.

In May 2013 The PossABLE IDEAS EXPO was held at the Newcastle Entertainment Centre. This event was the biggest disability based event in Australia that year and attracted 100 exhibitors and 4500 guests over the two day program. The then State Minister for Disability, Andrew Constance endorsed the event as well as the National Disability Insurance Agency, and attended the event along with many other state and local politicians.

IDEAS have 30 years of experience running expos around regional NSW.

NBN covered the event and were present for filming on the Friday morning, including the opening ceremony and general event happenings. The event was featured on NBN News on the Friday night.

PossABLE was supported strongly by ABC radio leading up to the event. A number of performers and seminar presenters on the event program were featured on their talk back programing leading up to the event.

The Newcastle Herald ran a special feature including the event program and map on the Friday before the event, this feature attracted 12 pages of advertisements and won the best national feature for Fairfax in 2013.

VISION FOR THE EVENT

UNDER THE

MICROSCOPE

BESTIN SHOW

BESTIN SHOW

T H E E X H I B I T I O N Provision of personalised information and two way conversations in a relaxed face to face environment.

The foundation of PossABLE is based on an exhibition of more than 70 exhibitors showcasing the best local and global choices in a one stop environment. The combination of crucial and helpful information getting, and face to face personal exchanges; a completely accessible venue with wide aisles, public rest areas and accessible toilets will encourage crowds to come, circulate easily and stay for longer.

S E M I N A R SInformation, Knowledge, Life….embracing whole of life decision making including the NDIS reforms and learning so far.

Two streams of SEMINARS running consecutively throughout the event will be another offering providing crucial information to all about changes to disability supports and lessons learned so far. A vast host of other topics, subjects and ideas will be also be explored. There will be something for everyone and some sessions will be free of charge. A draft seminar program is currently being finalised.

R A V E L O U N G E Embraces personal connection, building communities of support and the power of inspiration.

Making personal connections with others and feeling supported by community is a huge part of the human experience and crucial to living a happy healthy life. The concept behind the RAVE Lounge celebrates the importance of making and embracing personal connections. This casual space designed by local artists as an art installation in itself, will be filled throughout the event with people connecting, creating communities, inspiring, informing and entertaining. Every ½ hour we will welcome a new guest who will share personal experiences, insights, information and in some cases performance. Within this casual ‘lounge’ space we encourage questions and interaction, so each 7 – 10 minute talk is less like a presentation and more like a conversation. RAVE Lounge guests will be a diverse group ranging from celebrities and performers to parents, grandparents and individuals with a disability.

R E C R E A T I O N A N D L E I S U R E P R O G R A M Movement creates energy and sport in all forms encourages social engagement as well as general health – body, mind & spirit.

This wide scoping program will include a range of inclusive sport and recreation demonstrations where guests will be encouraged to watch and participate. This program will also encompass a range of diverse therapies and opportunities to try state of the art inclusive sports and equipment.

H I S T O R Y

W H AT D O W E D O ?

Early in 2007 IDEAS (information on Disability & Education Awareness Services Incorporated) was created as a result of a merger between two of the leading providers of disability information in NSW, ‘DIRC NSW Incorporated’ and ‘Information on Disability Equipment Access Services Incorporated’. Combined the two organisations had over 40 years of expertise and skills in providing disability information.

IDEAS is a Not for Profit organisation and widely recognised in Australia as a leading information provider. We work to support people with disabilities and aged related disabilities, their families, carers and supporters to self-advocate, enabling them to make informed decisions about matters of importance to them. As disability knowledge brokers, we do this by providing a range of free independent information services and products.

_

These products and services include:

• IDEAS disability Info line (national toll free number)

• IDEAS online – an online information clearing house that supports informed decision making

• IDEAS EXPO – A community event showcasing services and products that support independence.

• IDEAS EDUCATION AND TRAINING – a range of workshops, conferences and small innovative events developed to promote access, inclusion and choice and control.

• IDEAS On the Road - A community engagement program to raise awareness and provide in-reach support with people with disability and people with age related disability

• Disability advocacy support

• IDEAS Newsletter – 6 printed newsletters a year with a circulation of over 2500

• IDEAS e-News – an electronic newsletter keeping up to date with happenings in the sector.

• High quality printed directories of services and products
