Last weekend we were at the VANLIFE.Ferropolis trade fair on the way.
Not with a stand or a workshop, but as day guests. However, thanks to the organizer, we had places on the guest list and the opportunity to drive to the site in the Pekaway One (LT). So we met early in the morning, packed a few of our products, got in the LT and off we went - this time with Moritz (@kaesebierphotography), who was supposed to take a few nice photos for us, while Karl and I walked around the stands to talk to other companies and people from the community and present our products. Business cards were exchanged, test products handed out and of course lots of conversations and experiences exchanged.
Overall, we feel that our VAN PI system has met with many open and enthusiastic people and has encouraged us to continue and stick with it!
We particularly remember the bus builders - perhaps you know this friendly group from YouTube, workshops or other channels. Two people from the crew got our VAN PI Relayboard to test and will soon tell us how it went and we will then tell you. :)
We have also been busy networking with Campeleon, Carjbou, Berufsurlauber, Vanhalla and many more and are excited to see what else can come out of this.
Finally, we had a beautiful sunset behind a field of sunflowers - of course we had to take advantage of this beautiful scenery and it rounded off the day perfectly.
My conclusion: We had a lot of fun and will definitely go again next year - but then with our own stand! The location is simply unique and the atmosphere and the people were all very open, interested and friendly. The only drawback was that not many day visitors come there - so it's still more of an insider tip - which can of course be an advantage because you have much more time at the stands to have specialist discussions - but a stand like this has to be worthwhile and we think this event deserves more visitors.
