The brief

Three November days at the Prague Congress Centre in Vyšehrad, hundreds of secondary schools and thousands of families deciding where to go after primary school.

A fair like that does not fit on a flyer. Visitors need a catalogue of schools in their pocket and a map to the right stand; exhibitors need clear terms and a registration.

We delivered the fair’s entire digital and visual presence: the app, the website, navigation around the venue and an identity with printed materials.

A catalogue of schools in your pocket

Search and filters by focus, field of study, location and tuition. Plus a strengths-based career test and the videos of the Secondary School Choice Guide, so the choice starts before the fair does.

Favourite schools and dates

A heart next to a school remembers which ones are worth a visit. The open day calendar then arranges those schools into dates you can actually make.

App screen with the interactive map of the fair

With the map, you won’t get lost

The floors of the Congress Centre, stand numbers and a search for a specific school. The app is published on the App Store and Google Play, and 200solutions is the developer behind both listings.

Retro pixels, not a template

A pixel logo with the edition number, the Prague skyline, hard button shadows and scrambling text animations. A gaming language shared with the app’s marketing, built on WordPress with Breakdance.

Bookings instead of queues

So that no queues form at the entrance, schools use the booking system to pick the day and time of their visit. Every half-hour slot has its own capacity, a booking can be changed or cancelled at any time and the confirmation arrives by e-mail.

Schola Pragensis invites visitors to its 30th anniversary edition: a Praha TV report on the fair that once again opens its doors to future students.

A trade fair that fits in your phone.

The app, the website and the identity speak the same pixel language as the fair itself.
