RootsTech: T-10 days

 What's in my bag (and other necessity's):

With RootsTech right around the corner I've been packing my bags! Here's whats inside:

Folder: I always bring either a folder or a binder to keep all my papers and handouts from the conference. I also bring my notebook/journal to keep notes in.

Writing utensil: To go along with my notebook I bring pens and pencils. I've found it's easier to read my notes later if I alternate colors when I write them. 

Water bottle: This one is kinda obvious but it's nice to have water when you've been walking all day.

Snacks: As a high school student I know that, one of the only ways to make through the day is to have snacks between classes.

Umbrella: Generally I would only bring this if the forecast shows snow or rain but, that being said the weather can be rather sporadic and unpredictable.

Warmth (Gloves, jacket/coat): Seeing as we have such awesome weather in Utah, a jacket is a must! If you're going to be doing a lot of walking outside gloves are also pretty awesome. I live an hour south of Salt Lake and every morning it's between 14 and 25 degrees.

Shoes: The Salt Palace center is huge! Every year the conference expands, so, as a result the distance we walk becomes longer and longer. Make sure to bring good shoes or by the end of the day your feet will be cursing you! 😩

Phone : It is a tech conference after all! Make sure to post plenty of picture using the hashtag #rootstech

See you in 10 days!
