Is this your first IDEA conference? If so, welcome! If not, welcome back!

This is by no means an all-inclusive list, but do try to bring:
* Layers. It gets cold in the rooms, especially after you've been sweating. Bring your regular fitness sweat-wicking wear along with a light jacket.
* A folder or light portfolio of some type to keep your session handouts in.
* A reusable, lightweight water bottle. There are refill stations everywhere.
* A backpack
* Clothes for celebrating the night life and awards ceremony.
* Business cards! You'll get some great networking in.
* Money for all the awesome products and fitness attire. Leave room in your luggage for something you just "have to have."
* If you're an indoor cycling teacher, bring your clip-ins.
* Bring pain relievers (advil, etc) just in case.
* A tennis ball to help take care of trigger points and keep you pliable.

I hope this helps. Have fun!

Hi Janice,

In addition to the great suggestions Joy has, you should also bring:

*Registration confirmation/picture I.D.
*Printed copy of selected sessions
*Notepad & writing instruments
*Yoga mat (for mind/body sessions)
*Snacks
*Cocktail attire for the IDEA World Fitness Celebration

bring some cooling gel for your FEET to put on between sessions, bring two water bottles to alternate between water and juice/electrolytes and you can refill w/G Series Fit Gatorade stuff, bring a notebook to write down 3 things in EVERY session you take you want to TAKE AWAY and 3 things you learned NEVER TO reproduce again, a cellphone w/video or video camera NOT to film in sessions (it's illegal) but to film exercises and tips of yourself AFTER AND BETWEEN sessions so you'll always remember them, and a CREDIT CARD for the GREAT shopping....not to mention gifts of chocolate for your favorite presenters...... just kidding...(not really). LOL
