In the interest of reducing printed waste, we didn't put any blurb about the data blockers in the swag bags. We got them from a new supplier and by the time they got here we didn't see there was no info until it was too late.
But yes, it is a data blocker, meaning it only enables the power pins across the USB port. Next time we'll at least put up a sign explaining it, cos we got quite a few questions! Great to see everyone last week, too! Another fun and informative time.
