My employer, DeckCommerce participated in the DevUp conference (formerly Days of .NET) this year. This meant that the company had a booth for recruiting. It was a fun place to gather and talk about the company to others in the community.
And no booth is complete without some sort of giveaway. We had a plastic thing that nobody could figure out. Once explained, it made sense, so I suggested that they have a contest for a creative use of it.
At the #devup2017? Stop by our booth and say hi! Don’t forget to share with us your most creative idea on how to use our swag! pic.twitter.com/VMO1pj8qDR

It was an interesting talking point, but a disappointing give away. But we live and learn as a company. Here are a few photos from the event itself.
The keynote address to kick off the event was around javascript development.

It isn’t something our company does, so most of us left early to check out vendor booths.
Overall it was a good conference with lots learned. If you’re still wondering what the give away does, its a cell phone holder. Plug in your brick through the hole and place your phone on the ledge.
