"Future Minds" Education & Career Guidance Exhibition, the fourth expo will be held at the
Bandaranaike Memorial International Exhibition Hall from 19th to 21h June.
During these three days the exhibition will be open to public from 10am to 8 pm. By taking into
account the availability of space and the growing demand from the last year stall holders and
new comers, the organizers would like to increase the participation upto 175 stalls from
diversified educational sectors. As last year, the exhibition centre will be organized in such a
way where visitors can easily gather the necessary information. Further, there will be raffle
draw competitions for visitors and general public who would be the target audience of the
"Future Minds" advertising campaign. There will be two supportive programs to gain publicity
and will be running to the parallel to the exhibition. The 'Future Minds Genius' much admired
quiz competition amongst the advance level students of local and international schools is
ready to telecast. The 'Future Minds Innovator' that exhibit the young Sri Lankan talent will be
telecast adding more strength to the educational expo.
The foremost "Future Minds 2009" initiatives will kick-off on the third week of May 2009 with
the official media conference. The "Future Minds" programme and its objectives will be
announced at the press conference to inform the prospective stall holders and Sri Lankan's in
general. The media campaign of the "Future Minds 2009" also will start with the press
conference. In addition to print and electronic media publicity, organizers are planning to use
three mobile units which will be traveling around the busy cities in the western province. While
campaigning on “Future Minds”, these mobile units will distribute the advertising materials of
the exhibition participants who confirmed their participation. The organizers will install
hoardings soon after the press conference in prominent places around the western province.
Further, handbills, posters and invitation letters to schools and other education and training
providers will be dispatched. Organizers will set-up a help desk in the run-up to the event to
assist the inquiries of the interested individuals and groups about this exhibition. "Future
Minds" website and the frequent email and SMS campaign too will be activated soon after the
