Smith Communications was asked by Surf to conceptualize and organize a three-day international congress on educational innovation with ICT. The purpose of the congress was to enable international exchange of knowledge and sharing of experiences. By organizing this congress, Surf also wanted to put the Netherlands on the map when it comes to educational innovation with ICT and create visibility for how we in the Netherlands are working on this theme, both in terms of content and approach.

We hebben een uniek concept ontwikkeld: EPIC: Educational Pioneers and Innovators Conference. In de eerste fase van het proces zijn de doelstellingen en doelgroepen geformuleerd. Vervolgens kon invulling worden gegeven aan het inhoudelijke programma. Na alle inhoudelijke aspecten weloverwogen uit te werken en af te stemmen met de projectgroep, konden we aan de slag met de creatieve kant van de conceptontwikkeling.

Themes, location, catering, technology, decoration and entertainment were coordinated to perfection and came together to design the event. With a fully developed concept and detailed planning, the production phase with organization, PR and communication work went smoothly.

Tevens werd er voor zichtbaarheid gezorgd en kon men over EPIC lezen in o.a. het Financieel Dagblad, Noord Hollands Dagblad, Congres Wereld en Science Guide.

It was EPIC!
