From Julia D: My husband went to the Education Show last year to sound it out for his schools' project and discovered that if you had something (a product/software/a thing etc) you could sell in 30 seconds and came with a free pencil then it was quite a good place to take a stand. However, if you wanted to sell a concept then the market-place at this event was useless and you would only really grab punters' attention through a talk at the concurrent conference. He spoke to some theatre companies who were trying to sell packages to schools in said market-place and were having a really hard time of it. I know we're not a theatre company, but I think we could learn from their experience, maybe? I suspect mere presence might not be powerful enough.
