In an earlier article we spoke about what promotional gifts might be needed for exhibition exhibitors. This article is intended to offer advice of a similar nature to anyone organising a conference. People have conferences for all manner of reasons on many topics. Obviously the organisation of one takes a lot of multi tasking involving in a wide range of skills. For whatever reason you have found yourself organising an event not only do you recognise that this is a very stressful process, but it's attention to detail at the end of the day which impresses the delegates. This is where promotional products come in.

They deliver the wow factor to attendees. What are these promotional items? Well they come in all shapes and sizes. The most common and popular materials are conference bags and folders and note pads. Don't forget to add pens and pencils it's odd how many attendees arrive expecting to listen and not take notes. Lanyards with ID pouches are also must have. A lot of conference organisers are now putting their agendas onto USB memory sticks which they add to their delegate kits.

Other nice touches are ...
... umbrellas if people have to go outside, and thermal travel mugs if the venue is out side in cold weather.

An important issue which we have not yet covered is that all these promotional gifts are printed (branded) with a message, theme or even the name of the sponsor. This branding has a unifying effect on a conference. A hall full of delegates all displaying the same images seem to endorse the message making the event seem more powerful and memorable. Also don't forget long after the event has been forgotten the promotional gifts will live on as the conference bags, folders, pens, umbrellas etc will all be taken away for personal use. So not only will the memory of the event be relived every time the materials are used but also the message will be on display and live on. Lifelong exposure.
