Does anyone bring their laptop to conference?

I haven't but last year the lady sitting next to me at a workshop had hers and was typing notes. She was getting a lot of nasty looks, and I must admit, it was VERY annoying. It would have been nice to have one to check e-mail and maybe type up the notes at night, but I didn't miss it all that much...

I didn't even think of using it to take notes. I have no idea how I would balance it on my lap! I guess I was just thinking of email and that sort of thing.

You could also get wireless internet at your hotel and if you have a digital camera you then send pictures to us and your cluster members so that we know the new products

Oh, but the wireless at the hotels is like $20 a day!!!! It's outrageous at the Chi Hilton.

My Director brings her's so we don't all have to. I am considering it right now though.......my digital card for my camera can only hold 80 pictures and gosh I just don't think that will do!! LOL!!

Have a Pampered Day!

They actually charge for the wireless net at the hotels there? All the hotels I've been to the wireless net is free of charge.

I took it to conference last year. I thought the Palmer Hilton charged $10 per day but I could be remembering wrong.

I will probably have it with me again this year so my team and I can check emails at least one day. Most people probably do not need to take it with them. There's very little time to be on the computer anyway.

I also agree that it can be annoying when someone is taking notes at a meeting with their laptop. Personally I would be afraid that my battery would die... lol.

I was considering it, but then I figured out how to check email on my phone, which is included in my plan. The phone is also an MP3 player, so the iPod might even stay at home
