Trade-show season is here - expo invites are being sent, networking events are being blocked out in the calendar, and a flurry of business cards are being exchanged.

My personal favorites here are this mini VPN travel router, which delivers safer browsing than a hotel Wi-Fi, Protoarc's foldable keyboard, mouse, and case, and a passport holder that has a built-in tracker that works with Apple Find My.
