Resource Swap Shop

Catherine McAllister from Speechmark admires the resources in the swap shop

This is chance for you to show off those brilliant resources you and your teams have developed over the years! Also to have a look at other peoples’ ideas and set up networking links to share information in the future. The resources may be an accessible client interview form, a game, an advice sheet, a training package…….anything large or small!



If you are planning to bring resources to display at the ‘Swap Shop’ here is some information to help you plan your day:

  • When you arrive you will be asked to register and will receive your badge and delegate pack.

  • Then, if you have brought a resource you will need to log it in at the ‘Swap Shop’. This will be easy to spot and there will be helpers to point you in the right direction and help with carrying things in if needed.

  • Your resource needs to be clearly marked with your name and its title.

  • You can arrange a display or just place a folder in the ‘Swap Shop’ area. You do not need to ‘man the stand’ you are then free to enjoy the day.

  • Each item on display will have a sheet for people to put their contact details and any comments/requests. If you come back to the area every so often throughout the day you may meet up with people with similar interests.

  • There will be a ‘Top Ten’ resource feature as chosen by Catherine McAllister– Managing Director of Speechmark published on the website after the day.

  • At the end of the day collect your resources and network sheet from the ‘Swap Shop’ and sign it out before you leave.


Benefits:

  • Get feedback on your ideas.

  • Share ideas - so that other therapist's don't need to 'reinvent the wheel' if you've already put the hard work in.

  • Show off your ideas! - some of the resource companies will be looking for new ideas, and your resource may be the next big thing…


If you run a S.I.G (Specific Interest Group) you can display details of your group and sign up new members in the ‘Swap Shop’.
