Getting unsolicited and unwanted materials is never cool but getting stuff you want like pens and tshirts is so fun!

That is so interesting! I had not heard this. I will be at BlogHer this year (was not there last year, but heard…) and I must say this sounds like a good move!

Sounds like a good deal. I know I don’t want TONS of junk.

Goodness, were people being pushy or something? I can’t imagine that simply offering stuff to other attendees would be an issue, as long as it wasn’t being forced. I personally like getting swag! Of course, there’s no way I would get to BlogHer, it being elite and all…

Not having been to BlogHer, but reading about all the “drama”, I think it is a good idea not to push the swag at the conference. However, if I am reading what you posted correctly, it doesn’t say that there will be NO sway, just that it cannot be handed out “within the conference space”. That suggests that there may be some companies that will host parties off-site that will still be giving away things.
I wonder how this may go over… let me know what you have heard about this, if you don’t mind.

Honestly, from everything I heard last year, I think this is an extremely good idea-This way, bloggers go to BlogHer for the actual EVENT instead of the swag being handed out.
Thanks for this information!

I like getting freebies and free stuff…so it is interesting. I do understand though about people getting pointless products and such that are wasteful…and super advertised

Very interesting and a wise choice considering how much drama was surrounding last year. Thanks for sharing.
