Oboy! I am going to the TESOL Convention in Boston on March 24th til the 27th. Here is my list to date of Survival Tips for Attending a BIG Convention (in no particular order; just what comes pouring out of my head):
1. Wear comfy shoes.
2. Pack clothes that are professional, comfortable, packable, and washable.
3. Pack snacks like nutrition bars, fruit, crackers, or muffins. The food court lines can be notoriously long and the food can be expensive.
4. Bring one of those small travel (toiletry) bags on wheels to move around the Convention, especially for the Exhibit Halls. Much easier on the arms/shoulders.
5. Check out the online itinerary and plan for 1st, 2nd and 3d choices.
6. Check out the Exhibitors on the website and make note of who you most want to see.
7. Get to the Convention city, if possible, a day before you start attending sessions. This gives you plenty of time to check-in, register, and maybe see the town a little bit.
8. Pursuant to 4., pack an expandable tote bag (with a zipper) to pack all your Convention souvenirs, handouts, purchased supplies, etc that you can possible check on the plane. Either that, or the suitcase with your underwear.
9. Share expenses, if possible.
10.Have Fun and Learn Lots!
