Swag is always good. Stickers are a given.

One conference I attended had a company handing out cards with a puzzle on it (encoded message). Decode the message and email it to them and they tell you to drop by their booth for a free t-shirt. Clever way of collecting email addresses for recruiting and they mention that they're hiring when you get the shirt. They never did spam me via email, so I didn't think it was too intrusive.

When you say swag, can you give 1-2 examples in mind?

The puzzle card sounds a great idea. Do you remember roughly what the puzzle was?
