Conference swag is branded gear you hand to attendees at a conference or convention, printed with your logo so people use it at the event and keep it afterward. Event planners, associations and company teams buy swag for conferences in bulk to fill registration bags, stock booth tables and thank speakers. The usual picks are tote bags, drinkware, tech accessories such as power banks and chargers, notebooks and pens, badge gear, small consumables and caps.
Conference swag ideas attendees keep
Bags and badge gear come first, since every attendee needs them on day one. The 10 oz canvas tote is a recycled cotton and polyester blend with a front pocket and 27 1/2 inch handles, long enough to carry over the shoulder. Pair it with a dye-sublimated lanyard printed on both sides, or a heavy duty badge reel with a 24 inch nylon cord rated to 160,000 retractions. See more custom promotional tote bags, custom promotional lanyards and branded badge reels.
Drinkware and tech accessories get used in every session. The slim 17 oz bottle keeps drinks hot for up to 12 hours and cold for up to 48, and the 10,000mAh power bank comes with its own charging cable, handy on travel days. A travel wireless charger works at up to 15W through most plastic phone cases. Browse custom water bottles and branded power banks.
Notebooks, consumables and caps fill out the rest of the table. The faux bamboo journal has 192 ruled pages and an elastic strap, a 1 oz hand sanitizer clips to a bag with its carabiner, and a wheat straw lip balm comes in 11 flavors. A relaxed cotton cap gets worn long after the closing session. Find more promotional bound journals.
Choosing conference giveaways for swag bags, speakers and sponsors
Pick items for what attendees will do at the event. For a swag bag, start with a tote, a notebook and pen, a bottle and one tech item; our swag bag ideas guide has more combinations. Speakers and sponsors usually get something a step up from the attendee gifts, like a journal and pen gift set with a portable charger. Remote attendees can get the same kit shipped to them.
