Let the SWAG begin!

 

Been by the Venitian and already registered!

 

 

For those curious about the bag VMware is providing, here you go. Let the SWAG begin.

Look for the Sands conference center through the casino.   Or ask someone!  (I know, guys don't like to ask for directions... hehe)

Looks like the main floor will not open until tomorrow. Going to check out partner vendors...now if I can remember who we partner with.

Re: Let the SWAG begin!

 

Sorry, man, but the bag looks like crap.  Is it just a disadvantageous photograph, or has VMworld really found something inferior to the man-purse they passed out last year?

Re: Let the SWAG begin!

Really, the bag is nice enough.  It has pockets for stuff, hidden pockets, etc.  The really strange thing is no velcro or latch for closing the bag, though, so the flap is just hanging loose.  Kind of weird.

Re: Let the SWAG begin!

It seems to me that the bags are not really improving over the years....

The one from VMworld Europe last year was my personnel best.

Re: Let the SWAG begin!

 

VMware needs to take a page from the Citrix playbook. They have given out some great backpacks in the past, like the one below. In fact I'm seen a bunch of attendees walking around with them today.

Re: Let the SWAG begin!

 

And the MS Tech-Ed bags have generally been great.  I still use the one from 2002, and this year's was quite ample.  About the same proportions as the cool-looking Citrix bag above.

Re: Let the SWAG begin!

I am digging all the SWAG I am getting. Had so much today had to run back to the hotel to drop off. Very impressive gathering. Vendors are doing a great job.
