Conference freebies

[NuclearNed]

What is the best freebie you've ever gotten at a work conference?

I just got back from one in Orlando, and I got a pretty good stash of stuff. I got 3 USB keychain drives and other assorted goodies & toys. I'm fairly pleased.

My favorite is an SAP backpack that has built in padding for a laptop.

Yeah - I got something like that at this conference. The one I got was a little too much of a man-purse for me to really like.

That's too bad. Mine is just a standard backpack like you would use for school.

And may I say, pre grats on 5k posts.

a free sonicare toothbrush was probably my best take.

Nothing particularly wonderful (backpacks, portfolios, flash drives, mini-stopwatches, lanyards and also pens/T-shirts out the wazoo).

My favorite was a pen with an LED at the tip so you could take notes in darkened rooms while watching presentations.

When they just MASS hand out t-shirts, it's awesome. It's like you don't even need to talk to them. I rememver NVidia did it one IDF conference.

Backpacks are nice too. I have a few and my mom's been trying to get me to use that thing on vacation but it's tiny. My school backpack also has a laptop compartment so now my mom doesn't complain because at least I can be happy and use that backpack and stuff it with tons of other stuff.
