While I had a good time talking to vendors on the RSA expo floor, I had a better time running around trying to find cool SWAG (stuff we all get).
I tried to stay away from tshirts, but I did end up getting a few of those too.
Some of the cool / useful items from the above picture:
-
8gb SanDisk Cruzer Enterprise USB flash drive – SanDisk
-
2gb USB micro flash drive – Microsoft NAP
-
Small mouse with retractable USB cable – eEye
-
USB charger for car cigarette adapter – Lumension
-
Sticky pad for car – BlueNote Networks
Almost every vendor had contests or raffles throughout the day. Some of the prizes that I saw were a $200 gift certificate, RC car, RC helicopter, Apple iPod touch, and an Apple MacBook Air. I counted 12 vendors giving away the Apple iPod touch, and 3 vendors giving away the Apple MacBook Air. Somehow, I won an RC helicopter from nCircle, and an Apple iPod touch from (ISC)2. Thanks!
Later on I found out that I knew two people that also won an Apple iPod touch. You going to keep it or sell it? I already Jailbreak’ed mine, and I’m loving the labyrinth game.
Update: This guy must be a professional SWAG hunter. He had 3 bags full of stuff!

that’s a lot of stuff, yo. i wonder if that dude is a professional conference crasher like that other guy you told me about 😀
@msdanielle professional or not, he got a ton of SWAG that day. You see that huge white bag? It looks half full already, and the picture was taken midday. His backpack that he brought along was already filled to the max as well! I really wonder what type of goodies he got.
From the picture I took, my small bag was only half full, so I can’t imagine what he has in his bag. Maybe he took 5x of everything! LOL.
