Sure there were a few teething problems with the Chat application on Monday morning &#8211; but pretty much from Monday afternoon onwards it was pretty much plain sailing!<\/p>\n<p>Generally the preliminary results were pretty good &#8211; the Online Recruitment Fair had roughly 22,000 visitors, of which 4,000 registered. The conversion rate of the registered was around 13% which meant the target of 500+ applications was reached. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gradu8.com\" target=\"_blank\">gradu8.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nNot sure that the tech team felt that it was all plain sailing and there were some late nights and sweaty moments &#8211; what with the chat room niggles on the opening day and as usual we&#8217;ve had a few last minute panics with videos and versions on a few mornings. But generally we had some interesting and positive feedback from the Graduate punters themselves &#8211; the CV Clinic Q&#038;A forum was particularly successful.<\/p>\n<p>Personally I was really mpressed with the AV lads as they managed to turn around all the edits and even get sign off from TJ and clients with time to spare. I had been expecting a lot more problems here, especially as some of the shoots were only finished 2 weeks ago!<\/p>\n<p>Providing the prelimnary numbers are conclusive then it will be full (s)team ahead for the February Fair. Hopefully I will get some time to polish some of the things that I had to let slide this time (inconsistent button sizes and rendering, a bit more finessing of the Seminar Videos, not to mention quality control on  some of the Exhibitor\/Clinet in-house videos we were sent &#8230;. and getting decent quality logos from the companies involved. And definitely no bloody animated GIF versions of the Client logos allowed next time!!)<\/p>\n<p><strong>credits<\/strong><br \/>\nDesigner: Pete Duggan<br \/>\nFlash Players: Euan@Disturb &amp; Rick Lippiett<br \/>\nInformation Architecture: Rob Cochran &#038; Lynda Elliot<br \/>\nHTML\/CSS: Michal Ordon<br \/>\nPHP Development: Maciek Iwanowski, Vlad Stepan &amp; Rob Cochran<br \/>\nTechnical Server Infrastructure: Maciek Iwanowski<br \/>\nFlash Development: Rick Lippiett, Alan Benzie &#038;amp Euan@disturbmedia.com<br \/>\nAV Director: Simon Payne<br \/>\nAV Co-ordinator: Andy Telling<br \/>\nProject management: Bogdan Szychowski<br \/>\n<strong>Creative Director: Rick Lippiett<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Update: So the week went off without a hitch despite it being the first time that either side (Glass or TJ) had held one of these events.
