Central Career & Technical School marketing students will host the “Central Tech Trade Show 2014” Monday, November 24 from 6-7 p.m. in the school’s library. This event is open to the public and will feature 30 different booth designs created by more than 60 Central Tech students showcasing the products and services of participating sponsors.

Over the past several weeks, students have researched and learned everything about their designated local sponsor’s company and the products/services. The goal of the event is to give the students practice and experience applying the sales and marketing process and trade show marketing. The students will represent their designated companies and implement what they have learned in class, including customer interaction and marketing techniques.

The trade show will showcase more than 30 booths. Community attendees will approach the booths and sample or learn about the products from the students. Attendees will also be asked to vote for the most impressive and informative booths at the show.
