Last thing I got for free? Hm, I guess flights to CA (vendor meeting so they pay, and they agreed to extend it for a few days so I can be there over the weekend)
Best thing I got for free: all expenses paid trip to Maui. Was nominated and selected for a "best employee" award when working for T-Mobile.
Hotel provided free breakfast buffet daily since I am still Hilton Gold VIP (until the end of April).
Conference - about a dozen pens from various vendors. jA little tin of mints from Microsoft. Woohoo.
You can tell how the economy affected the conference. I attended two years ago and the vendors were doing more to attract attention. One had a handwriting analysis expert who would give you an analysis free, another one would make you a free CD with up to 10 songs, and the trinkets were nicer.
