<div dir="ltr">Also, I think it's important to note that when you "sponsor the lanyards" at $1,500 - more than half that money actually goes to the purchase and printing of the lanyards. So, that's not a huge loss of revenue to begin with, I would say.<div>
I'm fine with either losing that sponsorship or we could retain the sponsorship and convert it to "badge holders" instead of the lanyards. </div><div><a href="http://www.swagconnection.com/id__badge_holders.htm">http://www.swagconnection.com/id__badge_holders.htm</a><br>

Could you perhaps have a generic, anonymous survey that goes out to all conference goers, prior to the event asking preference? This would give you a rough count without collecting names. I was thinking a simple Google form (or equivalent) with the text of the policy and the choices following. There would be no record generated except a raw count of the lanyard choices. Then you could order X% more of each, just in case folks change their mind on location.<br>
Just an idea.<br>

If this isn't too onerous, it would seem to be a good compromise between losing the sponsorship vs retaining the data. Personally I do not object to my preferences being retained, but I understand that someone who does not wish to be photographed would similarly not wish to have that preference recorded anywhere.<br>

Otherwise, we could see if someone were interested in a multi-year lanyard sponsorship and buy a lot of each color for people to pick up as they wish, per Kathy's suggestion. We'd lose the "year" element of the branding, but would still be able to offer the organization's name on the lanyard.<br>
