As part of its effort to make the Midwest Fish & Wildlife Conference a less wasteful event, the planning committee decided that it would not have a registration gift- no pen, no canvas bag, no CDs, basically nothing that will end up as clutter on its way to landfill.
We recognize that people really like getting new things, even if they didn’t need them, and that many of us regularly use swag gathered at various meetings. The question is- how many tote bags, AFS pens, and TWS leather portfolios does a person need? You’ll have to be the judge of that, but if you find that you’ve got extras in your office, Do we have an idea for you!
Meeting participants- please bring meeting paraphernalia you’re not using to the first ever Midwest Fish & Wildlife Conference Swag Swap! We’ll take pens, pencils, highlighters, canvas bags, duffels, water bottles, portfolios- anything in decent condition with an agency/ university/ meeting logo that you want to give away. In this way, students and forgetful professionals will have a place to grab precious meeting loot, and we won’t be contributing to the clutter in your life! Leftover items will be donated to local charitable organizations.
