About University Bootcamp

What to expect at University Bootcamp

Education shows pair learning sessions with an exhibit hall. Visitors look for tools that save time and fit budgets, and many are gathering information for decisions made later by committees.

With a single day on the floor, every hour counts: arrive early, keep breaks short and in shifts so the booth is never empty, and book any important meetings before the doors open. Expect most visitors to be teachers and their colleagues, often with a short list of suppliers they want to see.

How exhibitors should prepare for University Bootcamp

Here is a working timeline counted back from the opening day, August 30, 2027 (expected date, so adjust once it is confirmed):

1. 16 weeks before (May 10, 2027)
   Confirm your booth space and read the exhibitor manual. Book hotels near Centro de Exposiciones Jockey while rates are still normal.
2. 8 weeks before (Jul 5, 2027)
   Order booth services (power, internet, furniture, cleaning) before the early-rate deadlines, and send graphics to print.
3. 4 weeks before (Aug 2, 2027)
   Ship freight to the advance warehouse if the organizer offers one. Book meetings with the visitors you most want to see. Set up lead capture and train the team on it.
4. One week before (Aug 23, 2027)
   Confirm freight arrived, share the staffing schedule, charge every device, and test your lead capture app with Wi-Fi turned off.

Preparation tips for education shows

• Know how schools in the show's region buy: budget cycles, purchasing rules and approved vendor lists.
• Bring classroom examples and short case studies from similar schools.
• Offer a free trial or pilot that a teacher can start without a long approval process.

Booth tips for University Bootcamp

• Show how the product works in a real lesson or workflow, not just its features.
• Ask about the visitor's role and who makes the buying decision.
• Have simple handouts or links teachers can share with colleagues.
• Walk the hall at Centro de Exposiciones Jockey during move-in to see which entrances and aisles carry the most traffic, and set up your booth so it faces that flow.
• Give every person on the booth a clear role (greeting, demos, qualifying) so nobody waits for someone else to start a conversation.
• If you expect local buyers in Peru, bring key material in the local language as well as English, and have prices ready in the local currency.
• Capture every conversation the moment it ends: scan the badge or card, add a one-line note about what the visitor needs, and rate the lead hot, warm or cold. Notes written that evening are already half forgotten.

Following up leads after University Bootcamp

Most of the value of a trade show is created after it closes. School purchases follow budget years, so note when the visitor plans and follow up before that window.

3. By Sep 13, 2027
