*otel lunge#departure lounge#arri(al lounge
%articipants and products=
't was an opportunity !or many important international companies to show their new products,their per!ormances, inno(ations and utilities. he ma+ority o! electronics companies D, Sony,
*ewlett %ac&ard, Compa" and Samsung pro(ed remar&able impro(ements as to the "uality anddesign o! their ? products /production. he D multinational company came with @ state7o"7thear t/exquisite H sets and lightning e"uipment which were (ery appreciated by the (isitors. ' thin& that D registered the A 9 largest /biggest number o! buyers. Our electronic products were also 15highly /greatly (alued. he (isitors constantly tried our e"uipment to test the "uality o! our products. Our products were 11 entirely /completely appreciated and we sold more than 237 38ultra slim H sets.
Or"ani#ation!
Our representati(es had a pro!essional 12) behaviour /conduct and pro(ed to be (ery 13competitive /challenging . 't was a good mar& !or our brand and company. Sadly, we hadalso se(eral di!!iculties that ' will mention below.
;irstly, there were some di!!iculties as to the online registration to attend the e(ent. hecomputer didn/t accept se(eral applications we installed.
Secondly, there were not enough 1> leaflets/ brochures to be ta&en by the (isitors
interested in our companies/ products and we didn/t ha(e enough 17 personnel /personal to tal& to them.
hirdly, many (isitors complained about the air conditioning which didn/t wor& 1)accurately/ properly and they a(oided to stay too long due to the heat.

ll in all, ' consider that the e(ent was success!ul 1? despite/ in spite o! all theseshortcomings. *owe(er, ' consider that some measures should be ta&en !or our net e(entwhich will be held in October.
Recommen%ation!
• a new and better computer networ& must be introduced by our company to a(oid
the !ormal registrations 1@ problems /issues.
• a larger 1A 9 stand/ stall must be reser(ed !or our products and we should send
more representati(es. lso, we need to print a larger "uantity o! lea!lets and otherin!ormati(e materials.
• we ha(e to be care!ul as to the air conditioning 25 although/ though in October it
will not be so hot.
