Sponsored 'In-Person Survival Kit' Welcomes Attendees Back to Event

How LIG Solutions, OSAP teamed up to create a memorable take-away

As associations start to welcome people back to face-to-face events, it’s important that they make attendees feel that their health and safety are a top priority. With that in mind, the Ohio Society of Association Executives (OSAE) was glad when a sponsor suggested including a “Welcome Back to In-Person Survival Kit” in attendees’ conference bags for its first in-person meeting since the pandemic.

“Folks loved it,” said Jarrod A. Clabaugh, CAE, president & CEO of OSAE. “It was a fun way for an industry partner to remind people to enjoy themselves in a face-to-face opportunity without ignoring the concerns that people currently have about the pandemic and its variant.”

The kits included several items to help people returning an event—vitamins, acetaminophen, hand sanitizer, Band-Aids, and alcohol wipes—and were given to the 120 people who attended OSAE’s 2021 Annual Conference in July. The kit was the brainchild of Timothy McNichols, executive director of partnerships with LIG Solutions, a healthcare solutions company that purchased an event sponsorship that allowed them to put something in the conference bag.
