Best Swag at ABA TECHSHOW 2018 (Hint: It's Not the Puppies)

Well, ABA TECHSHOW is well underway this year. Sessions are great, everyone is mingling and networking, and the exhibit hall is full of energy. So you know what that means? It’s time for a roundup up the best swag of the show! But…where are the puppies? There are NO puppies. Trust me, we’ve looked. They are nowhere to be found!!!! OK everyone. Take a deep breath. There is still some awesome swag to be had. First, a picture of one of last year’s puppies..it’s not the real thing, but it’ll have to do!

And here’s our roundup of the best swag we’ve come across this year:
Rocket Matter is giving out basketball hoops (while supplies last.) OK, fine. We’re totally 100% biased. But we do take pride in choosing swag that we (or at least our kids) would really want. Our CEO Larry Port has one of these hoops attached to a glass door in his kitchen at home and one on his office door. (Good thing he’s better at running a software company than he is at basketball.) An extra bonus: We’ve got our 10th anniversary cookies. Sure, they’re cute with our anniversary logo and all. But they are really delicious, too!

 

 
Executive Communication Systems, which specializes in dictation and transcription equipment, is raffling off NFL jerseys every day. Today’s prize: A Brett Favre jersey! Very cool.

 
FactBox is giving out little boxes of M&Ms, mints, and jelly beans. So along with our cookies, you should have plenty of sugar to get your through the long day. Just don’t have too much—because if you need an emergency dose of caffeine to offset your sugar rush, those lines at the cafe in the lobby are looooong.

 
XDesk, a standing desk company, is giving out very cool leather coasters. Whether you use it for your mug of coffee during the day at work or for your cocktail at night, either way the coaster will certainly come in handy!

 
Voluble: Insights for Litigation, which collects and analyzes consumer posts from online sources to generate insights for litigation, has pink slime. Again, the perfect swag for anyone with kids (or for anyone who just loves slime!) Oh, and yeah. Don’t get too excited. That money is fake!
