Introduction

Education is a social process. Education is growth. Education is, not a preparation for life; education is life itself - John Dewey

Welcome to my blog! As the quote above suggests, I am learning on a continuous basis. When reviewing my CV on LinkedIn, it quickly become apparent that my education is broad, my hobbies are divergent, and my career path is not the most predictable. This all has a reason to it, even though it might seem a bit random: I want to constantly grow and learn new things.

The latest personal development I focus on is entrepreneurship. During my previous employment as an exhibitionmanager at an exhibition organisation company, I came up with idea for a softwareproduct to make my job there more efficient and convenient. I did not want to bid farewell to the exhibitiontrade just yet, but I was looking for a new challenge after a couple of years of doing the same thing. That is why I am now growing as an entrepreneur and IT-person, by developing the idea I got when working at my previous job, into a softwareproduct for organisers of exhibitions and events everywhere.

The rest of my website provides information about my product Fairsatile. Should you have any ideas, remarks or suggestions regarding Fairsatile, I would love to hear them: use the contactform or send me an email at karen@sapra.nl.

On my blog, I will be writing about the exhibition and eventtrade in general. I will try to incorporate useful tips and information concerning trends, concepts, software, etcetera. Requests regarding topics for blogposts are welcome; please use the contactform or leave your requests in the comments section at the bottom of this post.

I hope to welcome you on a weekly basis to read an educational, but mostly fun new message!

Kind regards,
Karen Sijbrandij
