TL;DR: Allow attendees to politely decline the conference freebies. I’ve attended quite a few tech conferences in India over the years, both as a speaker/trainer and attendee. Conferences can improve execution, meritocratic selection panels, and the ratio of sponsored to overall talks. These are mentioned as part of overall feedback to the event. But one thing is rarely questioned. The “swag.” You know what I mean - the badge, brochure, stickers, probably a t-shirt and a bag to carry everything.
