Noone is proposing this. But since we anticipated ideas like this
one, we did include in the brochure the following sentence:
We will be happy to listen to your individual ideas and wishes for
how to make the conference an unforgettable event for our
participants.
to give us the freedom to incorporate ideas at a later point in
time.

The particular sponsor offered to print high-quality lanyards
specifically to be used as the conference lanyards. Suggesting to
them to have the lanyard in the bag and possibly even providing out
own lanyards would be quite rude I think.
It helps to emphasise that the logo placement on the logos would be
inobtrusive. Martin Zobel-Helas showed us a lanyard from another
conference sponsored by the very same sponsor at the BSP last
weekend and not only was it high-quality and nice, I think everyone
present also agreed that the logo was unoffensive. This was the main
thing we were worried about from the start as we are aware of
opinions on this matter.
Thanks for your feedback,
