Changes

As far as how to run the actual event it is flexible depending on what will work best at your campus. In the past it has been successful to run the event over an 8 week period with weekly meet ups so everyone can see what each other have accomplished.  Try and find away to offer weekly prizes for the best trades for each week this will help give incentive for participant to make as much progress as possible each week. If possible have different categories of prizes for example most interesting trade, most bizarre trade, etc.. Lastly have some sort of final prize for who ever come out on top with the best trade. Make sure to give students advice on how to make good trades. In the past winners have had great sucsess through recources like craigslist. The underlying key to sucess is the best comunicator though encourage the participants to reach out to as many people as possible during the 8 week period.
