Presentations in the Theatre

• Presentations are scheduled in the theatre from 8:30am to 9:20am.

• You will have exactly 5 minutes to introduce your company and show your advertisements.

• The use of notes by any team member on the stage will result in a grade penalty. However, at the same time, you must have well-structured coordinated presentation.

• All group members must say something (at least 30 seconds), but not all group members must speak for the same amount of time

• DON’T BE LATE – ENSURE YOU LEAVE FOR SCHOOL A LOT EARLIER THAN NORMAL

What should be included in my powerpoint?

• Pictures of the products.• Graphs on sales performance or market

research.• Avoid showing complex financial statements,

but you could include graphs on future or past sales revenue or profitability.

• 1 challenge your company faced and how you managed to overcome this challenge

Use of Music

• If you want to include any sound-tracks or music to create a dramatic entry, please give me this clip on a flash drive ASAP.

• Clearly indicate how much of the song you want played and where during the presentation.

Engage the Audience

• You must be passionate and excited about your product.

• You could attempt to engage the audience in some way, but it would have to be brief.

Questions at the end of the presentation

• All groups will receive 1 to 2 questions from the panel of judges at the end of the presentation.

• You should keep your responses to a maximum of 30 seconds.

TRADE FAIR CHECKLIST

• The Trade Fair will take place immediately after the presentations in the theatre. 9:20 to 9:40am

• It will occur during breakfast.• Therefore you must set up your corporate stand,

prior to going the theatre at 8:30am.• It would be absolutely essential to have at least 1 or

2 members at school by 8:00am to set up the stand. • Tables will be set up in the cafeteria for this

purpose.

Food Items & Beverages

• Your group must bring a good selection of food and or beverages that demonstrate some level of effort or creativity.

• A packet of crips is not considered an effort.• A Good Effort Example: In the past years some

groups have produced cupcakes with the brand logo in icing on the top – you don’t have to go this far, but is a excellent example of what is possible.

• The Chocolate fountain has been very popular in previous years.

Corporate Merchandise

• You must have a range of corporate merchandise available at your stand.

• This could include rulers, pens, pencils, hats, with your logo on it. This can be a simple sticker place on a cheap ruler.

• You may also have a corporate bag, with the items inside. These bags would be available to teachers, judges.

Brochures

• You must have least 5 brochures in colors.• You should also have about 20 other

brochures in black & white.

Prototype or Model of your product.

• For many groups it may be difficult to produce a prototype or model of the product.

• However, at the very minimum you will have a computer image of the product on your laptop.

• Of course you will also have your banners/posters.

Business Cards

• You must all have business cards to handout during the day.

• The business cards, must have your name/position.

• They should you also feature the company website and phone numbers.

Corporate Uniform

• All members must be dressed in professional attire (eg: suits) or alternatively in a corporate uniform you have designed.

• You can wear this corporate uniform the whole day, not just for the trade fair.

• It would be desirable to come to school in this dress, as there will be little time to change.
