GitHub sponsored a coffee van at FOSDEM. That was a solid choice.
Can't cost that much to run a van for the day (I see them in places with low footfall and the incremental material cost is low), quite low waste, widely appreciated by conference attendees. Also the queue was long so people spent a while in front of the logo, some of the time discussing GitHub.

A cheaper version of this, my favorite swag I've gotten in years was little boxes of smarties (Canadian m&m's, essentially -- not the chalk pills, we call those Rockets)
