I know there used to be a checklist of things not to forget for conference.

I can't seem to find it. Could someone please post there's?

Thanks.
 
Here's what I found:
National Conference Checklist
Conference package (which includes your meal tickets, workshop tickets and your name badge) [You’ll get your package at National Conference. You will want to bring copies of your registration and hotel confirmations, though.]Umbrella (if you bring it, it won't rain!)Comfortable Business casual clothes for day time/ 1 dress outfit for Banquet night. Make-up, blow dryer, curling iron, brush, comb shampoo, conditioner, hair spray, deodorantSafety pins, band-aids, emery board, q-tips and small scissors (hey, you never know!) - maybe even a small sewing kit with needle and thread Visine (for those red eyes in the morning!)Notebook, pens, and a yellow highlighter markerCamera with extra batteries and filmExtra bag (for all the goodies you'll be bringing home from Conference) or leave some room in your suitcase when you pack!Comfortable pair of walking shoesSweater/light jacket (for cold conference rooms and late night walks)Business cards (lots of them!) and put your e-mail address on them too. You may want to put a business tip on the back. People will be asking you for you best tip! Be prepared!SASE's to give to speakers in case you want handouts or extra information (write what you want in the upper fold, so they remember what you requested).

It mentions a conference package...is that just something from a different year? We don't have any paperwork or anything we're supposed to bring, right? I never got anything anyway, so I'm hoping I'm not missing something. :blushing:
 
Thanks!!!!
 
That is something you will get when you get there... It is what you pick up the first morning....at regestration....

Hope not! Because I didn't get anything either and I'm leaving in the early morning!
 
Thanks! As a first timer, I'll add this to my checklist so I'll have both! Packing already for Sunday!
 
Not to worry, Andrea's right. You'll get that when you check in at registration.
 
Thanks for clarifying. I was assuming that was the case, but since no one really pointed that out I was getting nervous. :blushing: (I hate being a very literal person)

The list comes from the HO. [I added the tip about using a PC bag.] It's always struck me as a little weird that the first item was even there, since they darn well know that we don't get it until we get there. I'm going to edit that post for clarification.

Is it "notebook pens" or "notebook, pens?" I thought someone said we'll get a notebook in our Conference package.

no, you do not. you'll need a notebook/paper for taking notes in your workshops.

Thanks Deb! And, ugghh, another thing to add to my shopping list (which is mental at this moment, so, of course, I'll forget something - good thing I'm going shopping with my friend/Director on Friday!!).

Sarah, remember that you'll be in Chicago, not the outer reaches of Siberia. There is very little that you couldn't pick up once you get there.

MAJOR REMINDER FOR ANYONE TAKING A MEGABUS OR ANOTHER BUS - MAKE VERY SURE YOU CHECK TO SEE HOW MUCH BAGGAGE YOU CAN TAKE!
WE HAD PROBLEMS LAST YEAR BECAUSE THERE IS A 1 BAG LIMIT ON THE MEGABUSSES!!!! We had luggage in the isles of the bus making for a pretty dangerous AND VERY UNCOMFORTABLE situation. We would have had major problems if we had needed to get out quickly! It is stated on the website - not on the tickets so make sure you check this out!!
