Plan Your Packing List
Be sure to pack the conference essentials. Things like a refillable water bottle and a fanny pack may not be top of mind to bring with you, but they sure do make a difference.
Other ideas of things to bring include comfortable walking shoes, all your chargers, a cell phone power bank, chapstick, hand sanitizer, pens, and gum or mints.
Keep in mind our Welcome Party theme, Rhinestone Cowboy. If you have anything western to wear, bring it!
