Why Tell Stories?

Why Tell Stories? 150 150 Jason Chong

Candidates will remember you

Our brains are wired to remember stories. And, more of the brain is activated when listening to a story, so the information is retained better. Are you going to remember a list of company benefits, or the story about how someone took two weeks off to help her rebuild her parents’ house after Hurricane Katrina hit, thanks to a cool company policy?

“Why, yes we can”

@Conference

“Why, yes we can,” we said, and now that’s all we do: gather stories from employees and use them to create content for recruitment marketing and employer branding.

We really beat the drum on the story thing. We even named our company Stories Inc. But, why stories in the first place? It’s all about your brain.

Attention

Leading up to the trade show, you may experience companies contacting exhibitors directly claiming to have room blocks on behalf of the GSF show. THESE CALLS ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH NOR ASSOCIATED WITH THE SHOW OR CFIG.
GSF cannot be held responsible for any payments made toward these fraudulent claims. Please do not give your credit card information to anyone calling and claiming to be a Travel Agent representing the Event.
BEWARE OF THE MOST COMMON SCAMS:

International Fairs Directory
“International Fairs Directory” sends out a letter using the show name asking exhibitors to update their contact information. If you receive such a letter, do not respond and do not send the form back. If you read the fine print you would be agreeing to pay €1,212 (over CA$1,800) to them each year for three years for the “privilege” of advertising in their directory, which has no connection to any trade show.

Attendee Lists
GSF  does not sell / provide  our attendee list. The only way you can obtain this information is by collecting the data yourself as you talk to attendees who stop by your booth. You can collect the information manually or rent a badge scanner from Microspec.

False Hotel Reservations
Never book a hotel room with anyone calling you offering a hotel deal. The partner hotel FAIRMONT WATERFRONT VANCOUVER for the event is listed on the event website here: https://gsfshow.com/hotelandtravel/ under HOTEL/TRAVEL for you to book yourself.

Avoid Trade Show Scams
If you are ever unsure whether communications have come from GSF, please do not hesitate to check with us. A member of our team can verify if it is legitimate or not and GSF will never forward your details to third parties who are not contracted to work with the GSF.
If you have any questions/concerns, contact our team at: events@cfig.ca.
You can help stop these scammers by reporting any suspicious activities so we can advise other exhibitors. And remember, never provide financial information to any company you deem suspicious.

If you have any questions/concerns, contact our team at: events@cfig.ca.
