Overview

Forward-thinking companies are moving away from trendy gifts (aka swag) in favor of more creative solutions, such as allowing the recipient to choose the item or donating to a local charity. It's a way to create a lasting memory from a unique and enjoyable experience, rather than assuming that every attendee wants the same plastic pen.  We encourage innovation in sustainable consumption by buying local, producing sustainably and delivering experiences.
