Blissdom and Beyond Packing List
:: Technology and Business Essentials

Business cards
. Business cards are a
necessity
at a blogging conference, where the emphasis is reallyon networking. You can purchase Avery printer-ready business card sheets or create a file and send it toyour local copy shop. Our favorite resource is VistaPrint – and they even have free cards – but you’ll
have to use 3-day delivery to make sure you get them in time![ ]
Laptop
. If you have one, bring it. Live blogging, tweeting, taking notes…this is a
blogging
conferenceafter all![ ]
Camera
. I don’t know about you, but I want pictures to prove that I met the rockstars of blogging![ ]
Cell phone
. For traveling and touching base with your family that you’ve left behind you miss somuch.[ ]
Cords
! Don’t forget your chargers and USB cords for all of your technology![ ]
Batteries
. Extra batteries for your camera! You wouldn’t want your camera to die just as you wereabout to get a picture with Mrs. Fussypants herself, would you?[ ]
A notebook and pen
. There may be times when your laptop isn’t handy or appropriate that you’llwant to jot down information or write a note for someone you’re chatting with, so bring a pen andnotebook that fit in your purse or are easy to carry around.
