Haha I was thinking about it, but I only do IT on the side (home/test stuff) so everyone would be like "Whyyyy is Matt (purchasing) following us to the IT conference"?

So come as an IT Pro and not as a GG. You'll make your money back (not now but six months ago) on the ticket price in swag, easily!

What kind of swag are you getting that's worth $3-400?

Haha I cannot unfortunately, what happens when someone needs a bunch of equipment we don't have in stock?! Or a customer replacement of a 10-year old IBM harddrive with specific firmware that hasen't been seen since the Apple II era?
These are the reasons I have to be on post here at the Monkey.

It's not any one item. I walked away from SW last year with:
13 t-shirts ($15 each if you bought them)
Logitech K350 ($60 retail)
Logitech M705 ($40 retail)
Tons of miscellaneous little stuff (~$50-75 in stuff)
Plantronics Backbeat GO 2 ($130 retail)
Plantronics RIG ($100 retail)Even not counting the miscellaneous items, as that's subjective, the rest is over $500 in stuff. I paid $199 for my ticket as I got it right after SW Austin 2012. So, even though I had to pay to fly down and room down there, I still made out pretty good.
-
the shirts aren't really worth anything (at least not to most as they would never buy them in the first place)
The rest - wow.. how did you walk out with two things from Logitech?
I'm guessing you were outside the norm on the stuff you acquired.

The two Logitech devices I was just given by Micro something or other. They had a race and I showed up at the convention center at 6:30AM before anyone else was there. The vendor was setting up, I did the race, and he was kind to me for being the first Spicehead to do the race (plug in some RAM and an SSD to the motherboard). Most didn't get that. I was just in the right place at the right time.
-
The Plantronics Backbeat GO 2 I was just given because they liked me, and the RIG I was given for participating in their LoL contest. You used it in the contest and at the end you got to keep it. It was sweet! I also got to do that because they liked me.
-
As far as the t-shirts go, yeah. Maybe you'd never buy them. But still, at an average of $15/shirt if you did, 13 t-shirts is a lot.

Yeah I did go home from there 2 years ago with something like 15 shirts.. I have more chore shirts than I know what to do with now.

Just ordered two iPhone 6's for the owner's sons at one client. They were the last users not on the company plan anyway. Now everything is on the corporate share plans,
