How to plan the quantity of conference bags

Running short of delegate kits looks bad; over-ordering wastes budget. A simple count avoids both.

How to plan the quantity of conference bags

Quick answer

Order for confirmed delegates plus speakers, sponsors, organisers and walk-ins — typically adding a buffer of about 5–10% — and confirm the number before the production deadline.

Key takeaways

  • Count registered delegates
  • Add other recipients
  • Add a buffer
  • Plan the contents
  • Fix the timeline

Step by step

  1. Count registered delegates

    Use the registration count at the order cut-off date.

  2. Add other recipients

    Speakers, sponsors, VIPs, press, staff and volunteers often receive kits too.

  3. Add a buffer

    A small buffer covers walk-ins, late registrations and any damaged pieces.

  4. Plan the contents

    Size the bag for the programme, notebook, gifts and brochures it will carry.

  5. Fix the timeline

    Lock the sponsor logo list and quantity before printing starts.

Tips

  • Plain bags without the event date can be reused for the next edition
  • Deliver to the venue a few days before setup

Mistakes to avoid

  • Waiting for final registrations before ordering at all
  • Adding sponsor logos after printing has begun
