01
Bring the programme to the hospital.
I planned, prepared and delivered the Melomed Open Days programme, connecting five hospital visits with a closing infection prevention conference and gala.
The aim was to bring product education and engagement into the hospital setting. A consistent campaign gave the series a shared identity, while each location needed its own practical preparation.
02
One campaign, five different settings.
The invitation brought the hospital dates together in one communication. Behind it, the preparation covered venue requirements, display equipment, travel, registration, marketing materials and the people responsible at each stop.
The Cape Town setup plans adapted the same display system to four different rooms. Tables, screens, banners, catering and existing room features all affected how the programme would work on site.

The layouts make the operational decisions visible: where a screen can be seen, how banners frame the room, and how tables fit around the venue. These are preparation drawings, rather than a record of the final installation.
03
Prepare once. Adapt at every stop.
I coordinated venue and supplier estimates alongside the roadshow plan, bringing accommodation, catering, production and the closing gala into one preparation process.
The scope included setup and breakdown as well as the guest facing programme. Cost planning connected the hospital visits with the practical requirements of the closing event.

The Richards Bay plan brought setup forward to the previous evening and allowed early engagement around hospital shift change. Alongside leading the programme, I handled banner preparation and marketing material checks.

Carried the programme through Mitchells Plain, Bellville, Gatesville and Tokai, connecting the campaign presentation with the team handling registration, equipment, sales, media and setup.

Bring the programme together
Delivered the closing infection prevention conference and gala, connecting the hospital activity with a shared learning and relationship building event.

Keep the message consistent across the journey.
The campaign extended from the initial invitation to product displays, conference communication and the closing programme. Each piece served a different moment while keeping the event presentation connected.

The event was a team delivery. The coordination agenda assigns photography and videography to Shenaya; my documented preparation included banners and marketing material checks alongside programme leadership.

A programme carried through to completion.
Five hospital open days and a closing conference and gala formed one delivered programme.
