Four pieces we’d bring.
Custom notebooks
A quality notebook is the desk item this audience uses in every meeting.
Custom power banks
Long sessions and a big venue mean dead phones. A power bank is used right away.
Custom water bottles
A refillable bottle is useful at the show and at work, and it doesn’t feel like a gimmick.
Custom lanyards
If you sponsor badges or run an event, custom lanyards are worn all day.
Booth tips for HIMSS.
- 01Keep it modest
Some hospital and health-system staff work under gift policies. Useful, modest items are the safe choice, and they get kept.
- 02Desk over novelty
This crowd goes back to offices and meetings. Notebooks, drinkware and chargers outlast novelty items.
- 03A clear follow-up piece
Save a nicer kit for scheduled meetings and demos, and mail it after the show if you need to.
- 04Big venue, long days
McCormick Place is large. Easy-to-carry items beat anything bulky.
- 01Brief
You tell us the event, audience and budget.
- 02Mockups
Concepts with your logo, plus a clear quote.
- 03Production
Sourced, made and checked before it ships.
- 04Delivered
To your booth, office, or overseas.
