If you have ever attended a conference, there’s a good chance you own a bit of swag. Swag refers to the various branded promotional items that are handed out at conferences and trade shows. Swag serves as a way to entice attendees to come to a vendor’s booth (and endure a sales pitch) and as a tiny bit of mindshare after you leave.

Swag can include items such as pens, shirts, toys, gadgets, and electronics. Most swag can be judged based on various factors such as coolness, geeky, functionality, fun, kids, etc.

Now of course not all swag hits in all categories, there is for example a very large number of pens and t-shirts also given away by vendors. A pen, while functional, is not something you are likely to show your fellow attendees, nor would it have them racing to the vendor’s booth if you did. That said, the pen may wind up on your desk, waiting for the moment when you are in need of the vendor’s services to flash you a logo.

swagreport is intended to provide a glimpse into some of the swag people gather in their travels, cataloging the good, the bad, and the nifty. Feel free to contribute if you have some swag of your own to share, you're always welcome!
