8 must-have items to pack for conferences

Auto Remarketing editor Joe Overby attends lots of conferences and offers these eight must-have items on his packing list:

1. Business cards – For networking and building relationships.

2. Apps – CamCard digitally uploads business cards. Also, check if there’s an official conference app.

3. Handkerchief or stain wipes.

4. Just enough clothing – Mix and match to pack as light as you can.

5. Comfortable shoes and nice jeans – For casual after-hours socializing.

6. Neck pillow – The best airport splurge Joe ever made.

7. Vitamin C – Build up your immune system.

8. An appetite – For local cuisine and for information.
