Packing 101 for the ISPA Conference & Expo

Headed to the ISPA Conference & Expo this October? Check out ISPA’s list of must-pack items and don’t leave home without ‘em!

• Comfortable shoes – Sure, those stilettos are cute…but you may be regretting them half way through the day when your feet, legs and back are sore. ISPA Side Tip # 1: Mandalay Bay is an enormous property and  those walks from your hotel room to the convention center – and everywhere in between – can add up to quite a few miles each day.

• Warm attire – Areas such as the General Session or professional development session rooms are known to be a little chilly. Be sure to pack a sweater or shawl to throw on just in case the A/C temperature is a little lower than your liking. 

• Workout gear – Whether you attend ISPA’s early morning Greet the Days or hit up the on-site gym on your own time, pack some workout attire. Be active and get moving. 

• Extra space – Okay, you can’t actually “pack” extra space – but leave room in your suitcase to bring back all the great products you’ll acquire at Conference. ISPA Side Tip #2: Do not pack products in your carry-on bags; they may not make it past airport security on the way back home.  

• Vitamins – Don’t forget your vitamins, energy supplements, etc. Long days combined with traveling and possible jetlag can wear down your immune system. Stay healthy! 

• Business cards…and plenty of them! You’ll likely be dealing out your business cards all week to prospective business partners, so bring twice as many cards as you think you’ll need.
