Campaign ideas8
- Partner with an agricultural machine manufacturer to host hands-on product demonstrations across the 4-day fair, focusing on innovation hubs (robotics, smart farming, green tech). Pre-promote via local farm associations and feature winners of live competitions.
- Create a 'Sustainability Stand' themed around the fair's tagline 'Ici commence un monde durable' – host workshops, certifications talks (PEFC, organic), and interactive displays showing farm-to-table supply chains for agri-food brands.
- Host a startup acceleration showcase (like AGREEN STARTUP) offering prize money, booth space, and investor connections for agritech/sustainability ventures. Invite media and decision-makers for press coverage.
- Run a 'Local Products & Heritage' activation in the 'En Terre Bio' and 'Sentier des Saveurs' sections – set up tastings, live cooking demos, producer interviews, and family-friendly activities (like PEFC's 'barefoot path' educational walk).
- Sponsor the iconic 'Grand Ring' performances and horse competitions (heritage Ardennes horse heritage). Use ringside branded areas, hospitality zones, and photo ops to create shareable moments for families and rural communities.
- Build a thematic pop-up village (e.g., 'TomorrowFood' for food-tech startups) with co-branded signage, shared catering, group social media promotion, and networking hours targeting distributors, cooperatives, and retailers.
- Create a media-friendly press briefing and VIP day on opening Friday, inviting agricultural journalists, influencers, and politicians. Offer exclusive interviews with exhibitors and behind-the-scenes farm/forestry tours.
- Organize a 4-day email/SMS campaign to past attendees promoting specific demos, must-see stands, and family activities. Include early-bird offers for parking/tickets, countdown content, and post-fair follow-up for lead generation.

Tips4
- DO: Lead with sustainability and innovation – the 2025/26 theme 'Ici commence un monde durable' resonates strongly; align campaigns around eco-farming, robotics, green tech, and local supply chains to tap into the mission-driven audience.
- DON'T: Ignore the family/heritage angle – Libramont draws rural families, students, and agri-tourism visitors, not just B2B buyers. Include kid-friendly activations (animals, demonstrations, tastings) for broad reach and social media virality.
- DO: Activate demonstrations and live performance – horse shows, machinery demos, and chef-led tastings create memorable moments and shareable content. The 'Grand Ring' and outdoor spaces are prime for branded moments.
- DON'T: Skip press and influencer outreach – agricultural media, food bloggers, and local journalists need early access; offer exclusive VIP hours, behind-the-scenes tours, and interview opportunities to amplify reach beyond attendees.
