Culinary Performance
BIG Design Culinary Performance enhances interaction between visitors and exhibitors.
The exhibitor is required to host culinary performances on October 10 and 11, serving 250 bites per day to enhance interaction at the BIG Design Exhibition. It is recommended that exhibitors collaborate with culinary masters to create one-bite culinary masterpieces that are unique, original, surprising, and delicious, showcasing the main attributes of the design brands, though this is optional. Alternatively, culinary creations can be based on creative solutions created by the exhibitors themselves, or can be arranged by the organizer at €500 per day, totaling €1,000 for both days, through the submission form above.
Equipment for serving food, including a magenta box with compartments similar to pizza boxes capable of accommodating 250 bites per day, can be provided upon request. Equipment pickup is available on October 9-10 at the exhibition venue in Ljubljana.
Mobile App and Digital Platform for Culinary Performance
Exhibitors will receive a link with a code for free participant registration for the BIG Design Culinary Performance. This link can be freely distributed to their guests via email or social media. Upon registration, visitors will receive an electronic ticket with a QR code, allowing them to taste culinary bites at all participating exhibitors during the BIG Design Culinary Performance, where 1 scan = 1 bite of delicacy.
All scanned contacts, whether gathered throughout the day or during the BIG Design Culinary Performance, will be saved to the exhibitor app. Exhibitors can easily find and download these contacts from their exhibitor profile.
Exhibitor Activations
Exhibitors are highly encouraged to engage the audience by meeting with a key brand representative at the module, such as the owner, general manager, or designer. Sales is organized at the discretion of the exhibitors themselves.
Security of Exhibition Products
Security will be provided overnight by the organizer during the following times: Oct 10-11: 10 pm – 10 am & Oct 11-12: 10 pm – 10 am.
For the remaining exhibition time, exhibitors are expected to handle the security of their products themselves. Exhibitors have the option to hire a hostess through the organizer, who can assist with both product security and brand communication. The rate for the hostess is 20 EUR per hour, and arrangements for hiring can be made using the submission form above.
