This gave them the opportunity to fine-tune the program before their presentation at the conference. For those delegates whose program proposal was not accepted, we offered them the opportunity to assist those who were selected to present at the conference. Gimmicks One of our goals as a delegation was to create a lasting impression of our university while at the conference. We often used a variety of gimmicks to help our delegation stand out from the others. Make sure that you know the conference theme and use this theme in the creation of your gimmicks.
Many universities create delegation shirts that boast the conference theme in some manner.
We often resorted to things a bit more unusual. Our delegates got hospital scrubs donated and decorated them with our university name and logo. Delegates wore these scrubs during the conference. We also got a local emergency unit to allow us to use one of their stretchers for the weekend. Delegates took turns being wheeled around on the stretcher during the conference.
