Kyle's Story as a Health Fair Exhibitor
Posted on Tuesday February 21 2017
Hi!!In case you didn't know, I used to be an exhibitor in corporate health fairs before co-founding Health Fair Connections (HFC) in 2013.Before HFC, I worked for a sleep medical center that had a DME counterpart called Feeling Great; that's my booth photo above.When I worked at the sleep center, I attended 50+ corporate health fairs per year and was able to personally help/influence employees at these corporations to be treated for their sleep problems and disorders (i.e. sleep apnea). I helped the sleep center gain many new patients at these health fairs, and I realized that health fairs...

Vendor set up time
Posted on Saturday November 12 2016
What time should I set up before the health fair starts?Vendor set up normally begins an hour before the health fair.We encourage all vendors to begin setting up at least 45 mins to an hour before the health fair to avoid setting up at the last minute, stressing the HR manager out and looking bad to the employees and other vendors. You will be rated and review on this! If you show up right before the health fair starts, expect this type of rating:Also, please keep in mind that parking may be an issue and some health fair venues are not easy to get to, so many sure you account for this.It ne...
Wifi and Electricity - Can I get it at the health fair?
Posted on Saturday November 12 2016
If you express you need electricity or wifi for the health fair during the registration process, it’s a high chance the company will have you at a table with electric hook up and will give you the wifi access (username and password).We ask all health fair host to properly accommodate vendors for their health fair and if they cannot, we give them the option to message all vendors if this is the case.
Will food be provided at the health fair?
Posted on Saturday November 12 2016
Will free food and drinks be provided to the wellness fair vendors?Well, all health fairs are different...Some companies and host provide food and drinks for their vendors, some do not. It doesn't mean that it's going to be a bad health fair if a host doesn't provide food and drinks. With that said, always be prepared for if they are not going to be providing food, especially if you're someone that gets hungry and thirsty. If the host is providing food, hopefully they'll inform you via email through HFC's announcement feature - a feature which they can mass message all vendors. Feel free to...

We email the host five days, then 3 days before the health fair asking them to send out parking instructions to their registered vendors.We make the process very easy for the host in their dashboard.They can message all registered vendors for their health fair at once and will receive responses in case you send back a question.Please do not take advantage of the open line of communication, and unnecessarily message the host, as you'll be flagged.If you don't receive parking instructions, show up at the address (provided on t...
