SxSW: What to put in my bag?
Here are some things I’m putting in my “Carry around” bag:
- A Big Bottle of Water – this is technically a no-no. You’ll need it to avoid insane convention center refreshment monopoly surcharges, though.
- Trail mix or other keep-me-going medicine (see above)
- Gum / Mints / sucking candy (since you’ll be talking to so many people, your throat is going to get sore, right?)
- Cell Phone w/ my # on speed dial: (512.275.6202)
- Notepad / paper
- Twice as many pens as you think you’ll need (since they will be lost) and a yellow marker
- Lots and lots of business cards
- a separate folder or bag or envelope for incoming business cards
- SxSWi Program
- Camera
- USB Drive (Thanks Don)
- Sticky Notes (Thanks Don)
- Wetnaps (added Thursday; March 9, 2006)
They usually give out the conference schedule on little cards you can fold up and stick into your badge pouch.
