Most science centers increase their income by offering their facilities for meetings and events. Some centres arrange more targeted events for companies and organizations such as team building and holding entertaining competitions in the exhibition.

Companies and organizations often seek new experiences for their employees and customers which mainly benefit the event and adventure industries. Science centres can take their fair share.

Science centres offer something unique. Adults enjoy exploring exhibitions and being challenged by building balloon cars and spaghetti bridges. If your exhibition arouses cheerful fun for children you have a solid base for creating competitions, team building and fun for adults as well. Your offer to corporate customers is an opportunity to trigger creativity in their group, a possibility to strengthen their working environment and to build positive relations to customers and society.

In this session we will present different examples of how science centers can increase their income and expand their market by using exhibitions and facilities beyond their core business focus – and find out what is required to make this change. Content from this session will also be supported by key figures.
