Looking for O365 Fair ideas. We are wanting to host a company fair to generate excitement and create ultimate "super users". What has worked in your organization? Thanks.

That's something we are doing at the moment, it's still getting off the ground but management has to buy into the value of super users and give them the recognition that this role adds to adoption. The idea is to create a network of super users that can support each other and really engage with other staff in their location. The super users are being supported with training, a learning zone, which has an area especially for them, where they can ask questions with subject matter experts.
Here are some resources that may help. Firstly you have to check out FastTrack if you haven't already. The resources section has lots of material including flyers, posters etc. Make sure to check out the Office 365 Adoption Guide, Build a champions program and Success Factors for Office 365 End User Engagement whitepaper, linked from here, under a Create Plan. Hope that's of use.

Just to add, you may find some of these resources helpful, it includes some of the documents I mentioned already.

Good luck with your fair!

Sorry for keep inundating your post but I thought this was worth sharing. I have only seen the slides but there is a video as well, which I think it might be of interest:

I picked out some slides that I thought might be relevant:

We ran our first fairs last year and they were so successful that we now run them every qtr. We called them IT Fairs because we had other areas we needed to cover beside O365, although O365 was the main focus. We also had sessions on our SmartBoards, New hardware, training available, etc.
Here are some keys to success for us:
I've attached some files that may help you. Please feel free to contact me if I can help make your event a success!

I had the honor of being the Office Server and Services MVP invited to present at @Deleted's IT Fairs. I made videos of two of my presentations:
