I'm loaded up and ready to go to the first day of CES. CES is a powerhouse of a conference so I wanted to make sure I was prepared for everything. Here is a list of everything I needed to bring:
- My iPhone
- My iPad
- My MacBook Pro
- A video camera
- Charger for my iPhone
- Charger for my iPad
- Charger for my MacBook Pro
- Charger for the video camera
- Earphones
- Tripod
- External mic for the camera
- Business cards
- Pens
- Conference badge
- Breath freshener
- Hand sanitizer
- Pain pills for headaches
- Sensible shoes
- Pain pills for feet in sensible shoes
And most important... A SCOTTEVEST. This has turned out to be the most important accessory I've got. The vest is amazing. With all its pockets, nooks, and crannies, I was able to put 16 of the above items into it. And another piece of magic is that no one would ever know I was loaded down with all this stuff... including my iPad. This is the first time I ever feel in love with an article of clothing.
I'm surprised at the amount of tech tools needed to cover CES, but some devices just make a job easier than others. I'm not sure how many of the items will make it back to the conference tomorrow, but one thing I know for sure... the pills are going back.
Thanks! Have a great time at
