Unusual request from Conference Sales Office
The University’s Conference Sales Office is looking for an interesting object which might evoke the curiosity of customers and draw them to our stand when we exhibit at venues such as the NEC promoting the University’s conference and meeting facilities. Any object that could be loaned to the sales team and is easily transported by car to be displayed on a table could be considered.
The object itself would need to be visually interesting, animated and in some way represent generically work that goes on within the University. A 240 volt supply could be supplied but the object would need to be reasonably robust and safe.
If anyone has any suggestion, then please contact:
