TALK OVERVIEW
No conference is complete without a vast assortment of t-shirts, pamphlets, and stickers...or is it? What does your swag tell your audience about your company? In this talk, Conference Organizer, Marlena Compton takes a look at conference swag and the role it plays as part of an effective developer relations toolkit. She'll talk about the different reasons why swag exists and how it connects with your users in ways you expect and some that you might not.
