The Congress

“Barmotion were fortunate enough to be on nine stands during the PASCAR, SA Heart ® and AfricaPCR Congress 2019, which was held at Sandton Convention Centre. We are extremely proud to say that we hosted the majority of the hospitality served during the entire congress.

“We have created a good and trusted name for ourselves in the industry and we have built many fantastic relationships over the years with stand builders, marketing agencies, and our direct corporate clients.

“Many of these approach us to work with them on their stands, but we also work hard at going out to drum up new business as well as reaching out to our existing clientele base to see how we can assist and work with them at upcoming congresses.

“We are firm believers that the relationship starts with our clients from the very first interaction – whether that be the first phone call or meeting someone on site. We take our working relationships very seriously and understand the trust that is placed in us to ensure everything works seamlessly,” Ms Swart said.

Barmotion offerings at SAHA:

• Speciality coffee bars (being the main attraction for most) are always a great hit, and are a firm favourite.

• Frozen yoghurts.

• Iced coffees.

• Various elements for the cocktail function on the opening day of the congress - These included assorted cocktails to wine & bubbly bars - Also cheese and antipasti bars

• Assisted a couple of stands with assorted handouts too.

“When we do hospitality on all of the stands or the majority of the stands (which is more often than not) at a congress, we are uniquely positioned to guide our clients and identify what hospitality offering could work best for them to differentiate from the other brands and stands. For example, if we have 10 stands, all doing coffee, we always suggest that each client offers a different element to make their stand and offering unique.”

Standing out from the crowd

During the congress, Barmotion drew delegates to their client’s stands with these offerings:

Zydus (The Source PR)

A frozen yoghurt bar with full branding – from the branding of the frozen yoghurt machines, to the menus as well as the servings bowls.

Astra Zeneca (Westlink) offered a premium specialty coffee bar with our brilliant bean printer – this amazing machine prints whatever you would like onto the top of the coffee. In this instance, Astra Zeneca were hosting the symposium on the second day of the congress, and we printed the symposium information on all the coffees served on the first day to delegates. We also carried their theme into the cocktail evening with all matching coloured cocktails.

Boston Scientific (Brilliant Branding)

Barmotion did an amazing selection of antipasti and cheese boards for them with complementary bubbly and wine for the cocktail function. On Saturday morning for the Rugby World Cup game, Barmotion did South African themed goodies to show their support for the Springboks.

Servier (EFAM) arranged iced coffee pops as a handout for their stand.

Stand Teleflex

Your team that served us at SA Heart ® , is absolutely recommendable. All was set and ready each day, as was promised. Furthermore, all were surprised that not only coffee, but teas, hot chocolate and decaf was on the menu! We did not use our quota of 400 cups for the two days and your staff were there on day three to make up the quota, without additional charge. I can really recommend your product/service. – Antoinette Scholtz, marketing manager of Teleflex
