Customized Swag. Live In Chicago.
Threaded Live runs live custom swag stations across Chicago: custom t-shirt printing, hat and cap patch bars, embroidery, laser engraving and foil embossing, made in front of your guests. Our Chicago crew works McCormick Place, Navy Pier, Union Station Great Hall and Soldier Field and the hotel ballrooms in between, so your conference, corporate event, incentive travel program or B2B gifting activation gets a team that already knows the room.
