Neat idea for attracting attention at a conference. I was steaming out of a conference session, in search of a coffee to sustain me for more liveblogging, when I came across this sight:

\[!\[Sleeping bag\](https://i0.wp.com/www.onemanandhisblog.com/content/images/2012/05/sleeping-bag-thumb-520x211-2473.jpg?resize=520%2C211)\](https://i0.wp.com/www.onemanandhisblog.com/content/images/2012/05/sleeping-bag.jpg)

Uh, what the heck? OK, I stopped to take a photo, and while I was doing so, someone else walked up and asked her what she was doing:

And the story became clear. She’s marketing for \[deskwanted\](https://www.deskwanted.com/), a site to allow people to find a better place to work than their beds. Or their sleeping bags.

Clever, attention grabbing and in line with the core idea of the site. And nicely targeted to the start-up and independent working crowd here…
