== What's this presentation guide about ? ==
 +
Open Food Facts is first and foremost a citizen project ! Because '''information about what we eat is of public interest''' (we believe), Open Food Facts is open data, available to all to use and (re)use.
 +
 +
📢 However, we need help getting the message out there. To create this community, we need people who can present Open Food Facts in front of as many different audiences as possible, from the most obvious ones to the most unlikely. In France we have accepted all invitations to present our project, and each time we have quickly connected to the people who attended our presentations. Food is a universal topic of interest that everyone relates to. Explaining how we can better understand labels and easily compare products always generates a lot of interest and enthusiasm.
 +
 +
So join the food revolution by talking about Open Food Facts where you are able ! It can be in companies, other non-profit organisations, schools, universities, consumer groupes, coops, conferences or fairs (and more !).
 +
 +
To accompany you, '''various ressources are at your disposal'''.
 +
 +
In this main spreadsheet, you will find them organised according to the '''type of event''' & available '''in various languages''' (please note that if it's not available in the language you need, the community can work on translating it together !).

Open Food Facts had the opportunity to be part of the Google stand, as one of the winners of the Google.org Impact Challenge on Climate in 2020.

People were really drawn to our stand, so we think there are some very good elements to be inspired by. And of course, no pressure: this is just to give inspiration! 😉

=== Making a presentation of Open Food Facts ===
 
==Presentations==
 
  
A first step to contribute to Open Food Facts is to present it to you friends and family.
+
=== Set up your stand ===
You can get on Twitter, Facebook or Google Plus and ask a few friends and family to join the project.
+
Arriving slightly earlier will give you time to set the scene with your props, prints, logo sticker, etc.  
  
1500 contributors have added 35000 products on Open Food Facts. The database includes products from more than 100 different countries, but the bulk of them comes from France - where Open Food Facts was launched in 2012 - and from a few countries like Spain, the UK, the US and Belgium where we have some very motivated contributors. We need to change that: we need to add products from INSERT THE COUNTRY NAME HERE and try to reach a critical mass of products. Of even greater importance, We need to create and develop strong local communities of contributors.
+
Note: some organisers ask for the stand to be set up a day or two before the actual event. Make sure you check with them beforehand.
  
To create this community, we need people who can present Open Food Facts in front of as many different audiences as possible, from the most obvious ones to the most unlikely. In France we have accepted all invitations to present our project, and each time we have quickly connected to the people who attended our presentations. Food is a universal topic of interest that everyone relates to. Explaining how we can better understand labels and easily compare products always generates a lot of interest and enthusiasm.
+
=== Adapt to your audience ===
 +
A smile is always a good conversation starter 😊.  
  
==So could you present Open Food Facts in your country?==

You may ask your visitor: “Do you know about Open Food Facts?” If the answer is No, you can start [https://docs.google.com/document/u/1/d/1sTMtkAjk195LmdSZ8rIYKYo-ryVIzgMd4x6wuazOlQA/edit '''the pitch''']. If the answer is Yes, inquire about how they know about the project.
  
Here are some ideas of possible venues and audiences, but you will surely have other ones:
+
Adapt to your visitor:
*    Open Data meetups and events
 
*    Free software / Open source meetups and events
 
*    Food and nutrition events

 +
* 👩‍💼 '''A producer or a distribution representative''': ask whether they’ve heard about the [https://fr-en.pro.openfoodfacts.org/ Open Food Facts Pro Platform], allowing producers to share their data directly & easily, what are the benefits for them on this totally FREE platform… ([https://docs.google.com/document/u/1/d/1LNYJwWr7mI7hiGqCG0SO0WXbvfreGsvxeT51hKkM8ew/edit 2022 - How to pitch to a producer]).

 +
* 🧑‍🔬 '''A researcher, non-profit representative, or any other potential partner''': exchange contact information.
  
== Presenting Open Food Facts is easy ==
+
Because it can get quite busy at an event, making quick notes on either your phone or on the business cards given helps to not forget what that interaction was about.
  
It's easy. We already have ready-made Impress and Keynote presentations you can translate into your language. We also have transcripts and videos of people presenting Open Food Facts at various events.

What's this presentation guide about ?

Open Food Facts is first and foremost a citizen project ! Because information about what we eat is of public interest (we believe), Open Food Facts is open data, available to all to use and (re)use.

📢 However, we need help getting the message out there. To create this community, we need people who can present Open Food Facts in front of as many different audiences as possible, from the most obvious ones to the most unlikely. In France we have accepted all invitations to present our project, and each time we have quickly connected to the people who attended our presentations. Food is a universal topic of interest that everyone relates to. Explaining how we can better understand labels and easily compare products always generates a lot of interest and enthusiasm.

So join the food revolution by talking about Open Food Facts where you are able ! It can be in companies, other non-profit organisations, schools, universities, consumer groupes, coops, conferences or fairs (and more !).

To accompany you, various ressources are at your disposal.

In this main spreadsheet, you will find them organised according to the type of event & available in various languages (please note that if it's not available in the language you need, the community can work on translating it together !).

Giving a presentation?

Depending on the kind of presentation you’ll be doing, make sure you bring the necessary support documents with you.

  • 💻 Powerpoint / Slides: if you are presenting directly from your laptop, make sure you have the appropriate adaptor cable to link up to the projector at the place of the event. Check with the organisers what will be available, for what type of computer.
  • If you’re using someone else’s computer, bring your presentation on a USB key (having checked before that this USB key is supported by the computer that will be used). For safety reasons, we suggest you also email the presentation prior to the event to yourself and the host, so they can retrieve it in case the USB fails to work (better safe that sorry 😅).

Some examples of presentations

Previous stand inspiration

Here's an image from our visit to the VivaTech 2022 fair in Paris (blog post here).

Open Food Facts had the opportunity to be part of the Google stand, as one of the winners of the Google.org Impact Challenge on Climate in 2020.

People were really drawn to our stand, so we think there are some very good elements to be inspired by. And of course, no pressure: this is just to give inspiration! 😉

Finally, if you have a digital support of some kind (iPad, laptop...) you may want to open tabs and products to have them ready to be demonstrated:

During Event

Set up your stand

Arriving slightly earlier will give you time to set the scene with your props, prints, logo sticker, etc.

Note: some organisers ask for the stand to be set up a day or two before the actual event. Make sure you check with them beforehand.

Adapt to your audience

A smile is always a good conversation starter 😊.

You may ask your visitor: “Do you know about Open Food Facts?” If the answer is No, you can start the pitch. If the answer is Yes, inquire about how they know about the project.

Adapt to your visitor:

  • 🧐 Person interested in learning more about the project: you may invite them to try the app or become a contributor by signing on the Open Food Facts website or app as a user.
  • 🙋‍♂️ Current contributor: inquire about their experience as a contributor, what specific aspect do they contribute on…
  • 👩‍💼 A producer or a distribution representative: ask whether they’ve heard about the Open Food Facts Pro Platform, allowing producers to share their data directly & easily, what are the benefits for them on this totally FREE platform… (2022 - How to pitch to a producer). If they are not yet part of it but are interested in getting more information, you could take their contact details or share our International Development Manager’s contact info: [[1]].
  • 👩‍💻 Journalist: after pitching the project, you can ask for their contact details in order to send them our Press Release.
  • 🧑‍🔬 A researcher, non-profit representative, or any other potential partner: exchange contact information.

Because it can get quite busy at an event, making quick notes on either your phone or on the business cards given helps to not forget what that interaction was about.

You can reply something like: “I do not have the precise answer to your question right this moment, but I would love to get back to you after the event on this. May I have your email address?” Make a note of the question also.

After the event

Network

An event of any kind is a good opportunity to network & to make some new contacts. Do not hesitate to ask people for their contact information, business card (or a photo of one).

Please share with the Open Food Facts team.

Thank you email

A Thank-you email to the event organiser/ your contact person is always a good idea!
