    Why event swag decisions need to happen earlier than you think

    Event swag decisions should be finalized 6 to 10 weeks before your event date, not the week before. Sourcing, sampling, approvals, customization, and production all take real time, and sustainable or Canadian-made options often need even more lead time than mass-produced alternatives. Planning early protects your budget, your brand, and your event day experience.
