That doesn't sound like a "goody bag". Also wouldn't having nothing be the same?

- michaelt 4y agoYou go to the conference registration desk, you tell them who you are. They hand you your name badge, and a bag. The bag contains various things - printed schedule, lanyard to hang your badge from, and whatever assorted tat the conference sponsors have paid to have put in there. For some conference attendees the bag is convenient, because when they visit vendors' stalls and get handed leaflets and brochures and free pens; and if they didn't have a bag it'd be inconvenient to carry. Of course, different conferences have different norms - free-entry trade shows will often offer attendees bags as talking to vendors is the whole point. Academic conferences won't. Fan conventions might or might not, it depends. Beer festivals will offer beer glasses instead. Cosplayers never have visible bags, although they sometimes have giant suitcases.
