Pro Tip: Packing list for events
Here are a few things to bring to events:
- Water bottle 
- Hot tea 
- Thumb drive with slides as backup 
- Lumbar pillow if sitting in club chairs (unless you are over 6 feet tall) 
- Clinical strenth anti-perspirant (I’m an all natural gal, except when I’m going to be filmed or in front of a big audience!) 
- Hair spray and hair fasteners 
And, I just learned a wonderful new trick from Brooke Braun, the Marketing and Communications Director at the McIntire School of Commerce at UVA: always bring a KILT PIN! One of her panelists brought a handful to an event. Why? They are perfect to secure the transmitter for wireless microphones!
