Sticky notes and notebooks are always good, I think, especially if pretty. Although there has been a bit of a trend at events for notebooks where the branding takes up a sizeable chunk of every page, meaning most people write on the unprinted back of the pages and the branding doesn't get seen much. Freebie thumb drives tend to be too small or slow to be liked, unless they've got some really compelling stuff loaded onto it. But like Matt says, define the audience and the swag may be obvious.
