Swag42 was happy to host the 3rd HRen meetup and provide a friendly networking environment for the HR community.

Everything we do is dedicated to making people happy in corporate life. Human Resources (HR) plays a key role in that happiness, focusing on people and shaping the better workplace future. That’s why we are always eager to support initiatives that foster the HR industry.

Recently, we opened the doors of our Warsaw showroom for HRen—a warm HR Education & Networking community. 

About HRen meetup

HRen organizes offline HR meetups in Warsaw filled with laughter and fellow hugs:

Offline! We are fed up with the online: we want life meetings, where you can see people’s legs and give warm hugs.

Swag42 gifts, prosecco, and vibe

In addition to prosecco and treats, Swag42 provided all attendees with bonus points and access to an online swag shop, where they could redeem branded gifts of choice and and send them home with a few clicks.

In the same way, any company can set up its own swag store on the Swag42 Platform. Whether you onboard new hires or gift employees, clients, partners, or event attendees, swag stores make corporate gifting simple and engaging. 

Thus, Swag42 will produce great merch, store it in our warehouse, and create as many swag shops as you need for any occasion.
