- Portable charger (battery pack) in case you need a quick recharge on the go.
3. Notebooks and Pens
Although you may be taking notes on your device, it’s always a good idea to have a notebook and pen handy for jotting down key ideas and insights.
4. Personal Items
Since you’ll be away for a few days, don’t forget the essentials:
- Toiletries (toothbrush, deodorant, shampoo, etc.).

Don’t forget to leave room for goodies, handouts, or other promotional materials you may pick up.
Travel Tips for Summit 2025
With your packing list sorted, it’s time to think about how you’ll get to the Summit. Whether you’re traveling locally or internationally, here are some essential travel tips to ensure your trip goes smoothly.
1. Book Your Travel Early
Flights and hotels can fill up quickly, so book your travel as early as possible to get the best rates and secure your accommodations. Check out nearby hotels or conference venues offering special rates for Summit attendees.
2. Know the Event Location
Double-check the event location and plan your travel around it. Will you be staying at the conference hotel, or do you need to commute from a nearby airport? Understanding the logistics ahead of time will save you from unnecessary stress on the day of the event.
3. Arrive Early
It’s always a good idea to arrive the day before the conference begins - if you registered with us, make sure to land early the day before for our Pre-Summit Event! This gives you time to settle in, familiarize yourself with the venue, and comfortably join our Pre-Summit event to connect with colleagues and prospects before the sharks come in the next day.
4. Consider Transportation Options
Check if the conference provides transportation between the hotel and the event venue. If not, consider using local transit, ride-sharing services, or renting a car, depending on the location.
5. Prepare for Time Zone Differences
If you’re traveling from a different time zone, be sure to adjust your sleep schedule a few days before the conference. Arriving well-rested will help you stay focused and energized throughout the event.
