With almost 3,000 online visitors and more than 60 workshops and activities, the largest online DIY event in the Benelux was again a great success last weekend. The 3-day creative consumer fair KreaDoe normally receives around 50,000 visitors live, but took place online for the second time this weekend. Over 22,000 workshop registrations had been made in advance.
In total, nearly 3,000 people participated in various workshops and sessions. During the sessions, 1,820 contacts were made. All workshops can be viewed online back to 7 July.
Workshop participants rated KreaDoe online with a 9.1.Visitors could, among other things, make a closed ecosystem at home, engrave on wood or take a diamond painting workshop. Other activities included a sunny cocktail workshop, wine tasting with De Meisjes van de Wijn and Olga Commandeur - a former Dutch athlete who can be seen daily in Nederland in Beweging! - provided an energetic session to keep moving behind the screen. Also present was Karin Bloem as a new friend of KreaDoe. She came to talk about her yet-to-be-published new book 'Haken à la Bloemen'.
KreaDoe is a fair organised by the Royal Jaarbeurs. Peter van der Veer, Commercial Director of the Jaarbeurs: "The extremely high visitor appreciation of 9.1 is of course a great boost. The team has worked hard to make a fair that is well attended live, also successful online. They succeeded. The Jaarbeurs was once created by live meetings, but with successful concepts like this, we prove that online can also have a great added value for our visitors. Of course we are looking forward to October, because we can organise KreaDoe live again then and greet people physically."
The live edition of KreaDoe is scheduled for autumn, with Jaarbeurs again expecting some 50,000-55,000 visitors. From 27 to 31 October, creatives can once again get together and be creative. Karin Bloemen will launch her book 'Haken à la Bloemen' during the autumn edition.
