I am involved in Supply Chain Day as an event organiser. How can potential participants find out about my involvement?
This happens in various ways.
- The communication agencies as coordinators of the day of action and operators of this website are responsible for the overall press work and marketing for the Supply Chain Day and for this website.
In addition to trade media, regional and national daily newspapers in German-speaking countries are addressed. This website is also well-positioned in the rankings of search engines and therefore easy to find. - You should additionally inform your local media and press contacts about your event. For this purpose, we can provide you with text modules on request, which you can expand with your own information.
The promotion of your event on your own company website - e.g. under the heading "news" or directly on the homepage - also increases visibility for potential participants.
This website provides organisers with pre-designed banners in HTML format which you can easily integrate in your website, visuals for web and print as well as a style guide. Please find them here.
In addition, you can also register your event on relevant portals and online event directories as well as local event magazines (which often maintain an online presence). Free online press portals are also an excellent way of publishing information about your event on the Internet. - In addition, use your event to personally invite your customers and business partners to present your range of services to them.
You can also offer your employees in other departments an opportunity to take a look behind the logistics scenes. This enables a mutual exchange of experience and information and strenghtens cohesion within the company.
If you maintain contacts to schools and universities, it is also worth approaching these contacts directly and inviting pupils and students to your event.
How can I manage the registrations and information for my event?
When registering your event on this website, you specify access data that you can use to log in so that you can manage and edit the information on your event. During the registration process, you can stipulate a maximum number of participants. You can also see how many people have registered for your event. In addition, you will receive an e-mail sent to the address you specified during registration for every registration or cancellation.
Due to safety requirements, I need detailed data of the participants at my event in advance. How can I obtain this data?
The registration form gives you the option of requesting date of birth and ID details of your participants when they register for the event. You can select this additional function when registering for your event. Participants will then only be able to register for your event if they enter the required details.
Why does my event not appear in the event map although I have entered the full address of my event venue?
