ABA Journal luggage tag

The ABA Journal’s booth had custom luggage tags again this year, always popular with the frequent travelers at Techshow.

Hands down, the best part of visiting the ABA Techshow expo floor are the people: old and new friends, business contacts, and reps from companies that can help connect us with products to that can save time and money.

Then there’s the swag. Those freebies vendors use to lock us into conversation. It’s not unusual to see folks slip in, grab a freebie and move on. But there’s also a lot of conversation about products and how they can help someone’s bottom line.

It’s worth taking a few minutes to chat about a product and learn what’s new. And it’s even more fun when you can walk away with a treat to take back to the office or to the kids.

The hot trend is wearable tech. But wearable t-shirts are still pretty great. Our friends at Legal Talk Network had comfy ones. So did Intel, MyCase and Fastcase.

There are always plenty of pens, candy, bags and now the ubiquitous chargers—portable, desktop and for the car. Blogger Lisa Soloman says attending legal trade shows essentially eliminated the need for annual school supply shopping.

This year, with some notable exceptions, there seemed to be fewer creative freebies. But we picked up a collection of useful and entertaining items.

In 2015, here’s the best swag—which an editor tells us is an acronym for “Stuff We All Got”—from ABA Techshow. This gallery features our top 10 picks.
