Your keynote speakers and special guests that attend and participate in your events are invited by your business or organization to add a higher level of professionalism with their time, effort and expertise. Though many speakers and VIPs may feel that their attendance is an honor and privilege, it is best practice for conference and seminar planners to express Thanks for their time and presence with a suitable token of appreciation, often emblazoned with your logo...best-known as the "speaker gift".
Personalized gifts don't need to be expensive; but, it is a waste of time, energy and money to present your speakers with mementos that are of little use to them...there are only so many logo mugs that a person can fit into their cupboard! First, you need to ask yourself why you are choosing a specific gift item. Is it simply to impress your speakers and presenters? Do you want to make your event more memorable to your recipient? Or, do you want to generate goodwill with the hopes that they will return again?
While you are considering the answers to the questions above, keep these simple thoughts in mind when you are shopping for your speaker gifts, particularly if your special guests are traveling to and from your events.
Speaker gifts should:
- Be lightweight
- Be small enough to fit into a carry-on bag
- Be unbreakable
- Should not be of concern if traveling through customs
