Did you stay at the Hostel on 11th street? I know several people who lived out of that Hostel when they first came to DC without a job. There are a couple more Hostels a few blocks from my home but I think they're focused for these international student programs.
It reads like the schwag served a purpose in getting people to talk to each other. I met a woman with a nice Timbuk bag with big summit logos.
