Someone needs to create an app of RSA Conference booth swag. Categorize all giveaways with stuff like "Apparel," "Tech gadgets," "Libations," and "For your kids." Then let me select what I want to get and create an optimal route through the show floor to minimize steps.

  • Con attendee running around to collect swag

A ballad? Waltzing Tote-ilda (to the rhythm of Waltzing Matilda) Once a jolly swagman camped by the expo booths, Under the glare of the LED screens, And he sang as he waited for the lanyards to refill, “You’ll come a-waltzing Tote-ilda, with me.” Chorus: Waltzing Tote-ilda, Waltzing Tote-ilda, You’ll come a-waltzing Tote-ilda, with me, And he sang as he waited for the lanyards to refill, “You’ll come a-waltzing Tote-ilda, with me.” ⸻ Down came a sponsor rep, sipping a latte cup, Up jumped the swagman and darted with glee, “Where’s your QR code scan?” cried the puzzled marketer, “You’ll come a-waltzing Tote-ilda, with me!” Chorus ⸻ Up rode the booth boss, seated on a hoverboard, Down came security — slow as could be, And they sang as they saw him bolt, pockets overloaded, “You’ll come a-waltzing Tote-ilda, with me!” Chorus ⸻ Up by the coffee cart, they cornered the swagman, Bags full of notebooks, umbrellas, and tea, But his ghost may be heard as you queue at the tote stand, “You’ll come a-waltzing Tote-ilda, with me!” Final Chorus Waltzing Tote-ilda, Waltzing Tote-ilda, You’ll come a-waltzing Tote-ilda, with me, And his ghost may be heard as you queue at the tote stand, “You’ll come a-waltzing Tote-ilda, with me.”

Million dollar ideas just out here on LinkedIn! Save "Star Wars," "coffee" and "libation" maps for the Premium version? 🤔 💸

Socks must be a separate category. Bring socks.

Sounds like a new take on the Travelling Salesman problem, which is perfect for AI! Get your Agentic AI assistant to help with that and hope they are not corrupted by vendors poisoning the training data....
