Roadshows

What is a Roadshow?

Roadshows are events (along with open days) that provide an opportunity for members of the public to see exhibits and ask questions. They are a method of taking services out to the community and are used either to obtain information on initiatives and for the public to meet staff, or as a means of launching something new, seeking opinions on new forms of delivery, or receiving feedback.

What does a Roadshow achieve?

They allow the audience to attend and obtain information without having to commit to anything people are able to come and go as they please. They also enable staff and users to meet and discuss issues.

When will we use a Roadshow?

We will use a roadshow when we are:

looking to involve a particular community or group;
seeking to break down barriers;
introducing a new idea that is best presented visually;
providing the public with an opportunity to meet ‘the staff’;
obtaining views.
