Event planning

Victor is helping to plan an event where his company, Fontaine Training, can show its products
and services to the general public. He wrote an email to a colleague to share his ideas.

Where does Victor want to have the event?

What is Victor in charge of for the event?

From: Victor Fernandez

To: Samantha Edwards
Subject: Where to have the event

Hi Samantha,

I’ve been looking at possible venues for our event, and I’ve narrowed the list down to two: the
Best Rest Hotel and the Riverfront Convention Center. The hotel is less expensive, but the
Convention Center is in a better location and has more space for us to showcase what our
company has to offer.

The only thing is that if we decide on the Convention Center, we need to reserve some dates
ASAP, as the rooms fill up very quickly. I also need to reserve food service and make sure the
location has all the technology we need. Who said logistics planning is boring?! How’s the
planning going on your end?

From: Samantha Edwards

To: Victor Fernandez
Subject: Re: Where to have the event

Hi Victor,

I think we should spend the extra money on the Convention Center. Let’s discuss dates with
everyone at tomorrow’s meeting.

https://app.learnlight.com/Activity_PUXProgress/Print?activityVersionId=4ce59ae7-4ab2-473d-b1d5-6e2e19390532&unitVersionId=463843e4-c5… 4/7

As for me, I’m still thinking about what type of exhibits we’re going to have at the event. Like
you, I also have two ideas. The first is a demonstration of some of our newest training
programs. For that, we’ll need an auditorium so one of our sales reps can demonstrate to
everyone how they work. The second idea is more hands-on. Maybe we could have a training
simulation where our guests can try out some of our training programs before buying them.
This way, they can get real-time experience before they sign up for anything.

Also, I think we need to offer a promotion to the people who attend. For example, we can offer
them a discount on a training program of their choice. What do you think?
