Be Sure To Go Over Your I&E Checklist One More Time

This is it! NAFA's 2016 Institute and Expo kicks off in Austin, TX one week from today!
 
So, before you head to the conference, take an extra moment and make sure all of the important items are checked off your to-do list.

Are travel and hotel reservations in order? If this is still required, go to the I&E Travel and Hotels page today. There is limited availability left at hotels that NAFA has contracted for room blocks, so don't delay any further. Secure your rooms now!

Do I have all my information? This year at I&E, in accordance with sustainability practices, there will not be printing kiosks at the conference. But, you can get all the latest information with the digital version of the 2016 I&E Show Guide!

Am I meeting up with specific colleagues while I'm there? It's always a good idea to reach out to friends and peers prior to the conference so you can sync up your schedules. The less time spent looking for each other, the more time you'll have taking in everything the I&E offers.

Do I have the registration levels that include meal tickets? If you haven't, you will be asked onsite to purchase meal tickets from the registration desk. It's better to get that squared away now than later and avoid missing time and opportunities!

I know what chapter I'm in, but I'm not sure of the region. Where can I find that out? It's all in the General Information section of the Show Guide and on the website!

 

 

Do I have suitable attire for the sessions, the Fleet Excellence Awards Gala, and the Expo floor? While it will be warm in Austin, please note that session rooms might be cold. Bring business causal clothes with accessories that you can carry with you wherever necessary (jacket, sweater, etc.).

Do I have my business cards and items that will keep me in connection with the people and businesses I encounter at I&E? Have you decided which exhibitors you're going to check out? Try NAFA's Map Your Show to get a detailed idea of whom you want to speak with and where they are located on the Expo floor.

Have I decided what sessions I’m planning on attending? The online Detailed Program can help with that.

How about that 2016 I&E app for my phone? Download it from the Google Play Store or the iTunes App Store now!

I'm registered for the I&E but want to attend the International Fleet Academy. Can I? Sure! But IFA requires a separate registration charge. Click here to register and we'll see you at IFA on Monday!

I know people that want to learn more about the I&E. Where can I send them for more information? The official I&E website is a terrific resource for conference information. NAFA's Press Room page also has tremendous insight to the terrific offerings from the I&E.

And perhaps the most important question: Am I registered for the Institute & Expo (I&E)? If not, go to the I&E Registration page and register now! Just click here!
