I did it, I went to the CHSI event at the NEC. Luckily there was free parking and that the exhibition itself was open. There were so many other retailers and businesses that took part in the event. According to the NEC website, there were over 60 businesses there. They ranged in all sorts of arts and craft, knitting, quilting, making candles, new fabric and printing. I enjoyed engaging with the businesses that were there. I was able to learn many things from talking to them. For example, I found that they were all approachable and were willing to engage with people. This is an excellent skill to have especially as a future businesswoman. I want customers to feel at ease when conversing with me as well as having conversations with them and building rapport.
Going and partaking in this event was something I needed to do. I was able to learn so much from the people that were there. It was also an opportunity to boost my self-esteem, while I was there I conversed with many business owners that pushed and encouraged me to continue what I was doing, and it was what I needed. An extra boost. There is another event happening later this year in May, it is paid, but after learning what I did from this event, I now know that it is crucial to go to events to liaise with businesses and potential customers.
Below are a few images from the event:
