Hi folks,

My name is Daniëlle; I am Expatica’s Manager Special Projects, which basically means I organise our annual lifestyle fair. For this year’s fair, we are looking for interesting, exciting and breath-taking contributions. Are you a musician, singer, performer, artist, magician, stand-up comedian, DJ, VJ, interior decorator, top entertainer, or graduate from the fashion school or film academy looking for a podium to show your work? Or maybe you have a special act that could be of interest to our visitors? Contact us! Send your proposal and if possible samples of your work to our event department:

Expatica Communications BV
Attn.: Danielle de Groot
Gedempte Oude Gracht 31
NL - 2011 GL Haarlem
Email: danielle.de.groot@expatica.com

If you have additional questions regarding the call for proposals, please do not hesitate to contact me on Mondays and Fridays or the central Expatica marketing department (marketing@expatica.com).

We look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,
Daniëlle

when is the fair?

Might be faster to email her directly at

danielle.de.groot@expatica.com

Now if I could just figure out what I do that is 'interesting, exciting and breath-taking'.

No reply needed.

This year, the fair will be held at the Beurs van Berlage in Amsterdam (same venue as the previous years) on Sunday, 12 October.

Through my colleague, Jami, I received the question how this year's fair will be different from the previous events. Well, I won't say that you won't recognise the fair, but I will say that it will be quite different. It will be less "businessy" and more lifestyle-oriented, through the workshops and presentations as well as the exhibitors. It will still offer vital information to newcomers, but also be more interesting to those of you who have lived in the Netherlands for some time already.

We will inform you as soon as we put the fair's website live (which will be some time yet) and then you can check it out for yourselves. In the meantime, let me know if you have any questions.

Enjoy your day,
Danielle

I think Danielle would prefer that she be emailed directly. I can't guarantee that she will read these posts...

ALSO.. it's a really bad idea to post your real info online anywhere!

That was pretty real information communicated online by Danielle herself, and other responses were fully informative. But thanks for the tip.
