A trade show: Purposely for awareness & visibility

Unlike the companies and other profit making organizations whose ambitions are to use a trade show as a trade fair, a trade exhibition, or a trade exposition, which is an exhibition organized so that they in their specific industry can showcase and demonstrate their latest products and services, meet with industry partners and customers, study activities of competitors, and examine recent market trends; Kole Intellectual Forum in its approach has decided to call for a trade show to showcase and demonstrate to the parents and the community what the students (the beneficiaries) are doing as well as also to show out their visibility to the community.

At the exhibition was carried out at the backyard of the Institute of Home Economics of Kole Intellectual Forum; informed were the parents and the community around the Institute.
