The Great Duck Escape

It happened fast. We were picking up our badges at the Moscone Center in San Francisco when our ducks spotted the crowds and bolted. They didn’t just wander off — they’re on a mission to find new homes with the people they meet.

Your duck has chosen you as its new home! Give it the safe, happy life it deserves, then click the “I Found a Duck” badge in the bottom-left corner of this page (looks like this ↓) to register your find. After that, come track us down at the conference and show off your duck for an extra fun surprise.
