Conference swag

We're having a bit of a debate in the office at the moment. At every conference I go to I end up with a bunch of stuff that's branded with company's logos and stuff. What sort of stuff do you like getting best from these things? cheers, Chris Maunder

Useful stuff... If I get one more freaking t-shirt I'm going to burn it on the spot.!

Well I cann tell you the best swag I ever came away with was the Harley give away at the Spring 2005 ASP.NET Connections conference. That was very cool. :cool: SF _______________________ Steven Fowler Sr. EC Developer

I usually just end up throwing swag in a pile somewhere, or in a drawer, and never using it. Eventually it all gets thrown out the next time I clean my apartment (which tends to be twice a year) ;) The only swag I can recall actually liking and using was an Oracle fanny pack, which I wore while bike riding. I got it back in college, which would've been 1994-ish. It finally got worn out last year when a plastic clip broke. :(

For a moment there I read the date as 1944-ish...man, was that a double-take. :)

What did the Vegas conferences give you? ;P ------------------------------------- Do not do what has already been done. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.. but it ROCKS absolutely, too.

Apart from the polo/T shirts the most useful things I got (at two different conferences) was the retractable Ethernet cable and retractable modem cable. Graham

The best conference was a joint marketing conference by 5 companies. There was a free breakfast, a denim shirt, 20 $100 American Express gift certficates to be given out on lots drawn from business cards (except that we were only 17 attendees, so there was no need to draw lots!) and then I won one of 5 Palm Pilot IIIs! Not bad for a morning away from work where I had another month to go before being laid off! (I had already been notified that I was to be among the laid-off).
