What do attendees look for? The Delegate “In a conference I look for varied topics, interesting speakers and new, innovation. I want to have fun too. Most importantly though, I want the opportunity to network and discuss new concepts with my peers.” Optometrist Shelly Bansal The Exhibitor “As well as the obvious value for money, I look for vibrance, energy, excitement and real opportunities to connect with customers. Constant evolution of ideas is key.” Brand Manager, CLs

Key Considerations – What Shaped Our Thinking • Brand heritage, values and proposition • The first and still the best • Competitor activity and points of differentiation • What can I only get at Optrafair? • What’s hot, what’s not… • Future trends • Zeitgeists and gurus • Engaging content, increased connectivity • Co-creation, social and digital platforms
