Be honest. How much free stuff do you throw away when it’s your turn to be the attendee? And worse, for the stuff you don’t throw away, do you remember who gave it to you—or even care? When gift bagging is done right, it has a great ROI and potential for brand awareness. However, most gifts are forgotten almost as soon as they’re picked up. Hard travels.

So how do you design the perfect speaker briefing? How are you briefing your speakers. I often talk about the 700 or so events I have organised. Over half of those have been conferences (or smaller content led events like seminars and workshops) but I don’t often talk about my role as a speaker.
