Suzanne: Lots of others got theirs before mine arrived, probably getting sent in batches with the most important people last.

parky: I saw that post too, looks like a good deal, I bet there will still be some sort of wifi offered from PubCon as well, but group wifi seems tough to keep stable all week. I prefer to bring my own card just in case.

Any word on the internet access while at the convention center? Saw the post on Cheetah and Clear wireless but was just wondering what the situation with internet access is while at the sessions. Thanks.

Bill Hartzer: Remember when vegas use to have those wipes you could use to get the grime from your change off your hands? Those would be good and would fit too.

John Andrews: That’s a serious business card collection

David Ogletree: There will be no money in my conference pouch

Love the photo of the biz cards

I always wonder why Vegas cabbies don’t sell packs of water bottles out of their trunks… every ride should pick one up upon arrival at the hotel…. hydrate hydrate hydrate. Good call on the Vitamin C, although in flu season indoors in Vegas I would double up on daily D as well.

Two more tips:

I like to stick a few strips of tape to my badge or man purse before leaving for Vegas. I always have a use for it at some point during the week.

I always bring a mini screwdriver that fits my laptop hard drive / memory chip compartments, in a small antistatic bag. Twice I’ve had to get depot service to repair a laptop while in Vegas, and it’s super wise to remove the hard drive and extra memory before leaving it for repair.

Robert Wright: yeah, something to take notes on may come in handy, like a little black book.

Arif Gangji: good call, gotta keep those vegas germs under control.

How about a little bottle of hand sanitizer? After shaking all of those hands, something to kill off any stray germs that may have passed from hand to hand through the evening.
