Not really a conference thing
but my brother ran the London marathon a few years ago and I went along with him to the docklands to register and so on. There we stumbled on stall upon stall of people more than happy to give (both of us) carrier bags full of sports drinks, sports socks, notebooks, calculators, post it's, pens...The Nike stand were giving away a pair of trainers every half hour as part of a raffle, so we stayed for 3 hours blagging more stuff and I won a pair of trainers. Never wore them, but they were quite pretty.
