>From the the point of view of someone processing travel through the university travel office, having the "swag" as part of the registration bill is MUCH better.
We can claim reimbursement for "registration" but not for individual goodies, like a t-shirt. So really, being honest about it, I much prefer to have the swag cost built in. That goes for special tours and dinners as well.. @LausanneFans the Lausanne T-Shirt was the best conference T-shirt I ever got. It's got this unique soft texture that always gets me a snuggle from my sweetheart when I'm wearing it. Maybe all you Europeans have softer shirts than us? - Dan On Thu, Sep 16, 2010 at 8:31 AM, Ravi <ravivundava...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Though I was not there, but for this discussion, would not have got the > feel. > Venkatesh, keep it going..
