A few years ago at an ASTD conference I got a great stainless steel insulated coffee mug. It still keeps coffee hot and it has never leaked or spilled coffee while I was drinking, not something I can say about most of the insulated coffee mugs I’ve received. At a different industry conference far removed from HR or training, I got a metal ice cream scoop that I still use. I like the practical stuff! And chocolate, although maybe not practical, is also good swag.
