About the BreatheCon Swag Design Contest
Why do we do swag (Stuff We All Get)?
Just because BreatheCon is online doesn’t mean it’s not a REAL conference, so every year participants receive swag just like you would at an in-person conference. Must attend BreatheCon to receive swag. Swag is mailed to U.S. residents only.
