FAN EXPO New Orleans Swag trading

Hey! I am going to FanExpo NOLA this coming January with a coworker. she frequently goes to other conventions. she talks about "swag trading" and i was wondering if there are swag trading opportunities at FanExpo NOLA. What is sometimes traded? I would love to participate but do not know how to proceed/get everything ready. :)

"Swag" usually refers to the exclusives given to VIP/Ultimate badge holders, or freebies given away by the vendors.

I can't say that I see a lot of that at Fan Expo shows, since the exclusives are the same regardless of badge type and vendor 'swag' can be picked up at their tables (assuming they don't run out).

My coworker said at dragon con "swag" was something you trade with others. Like little trinkets.
