Have You Prepped Your I&E Checklist?
Okay, the clothes are packed, the registration’s done, the hotel room is booked...or are these done? With only two weeks to go before NAFA’s I&E, you will want to take a moment to go over the small details including:
- Am I registered? If not, go to the I&E Registration page.
- Do I have all my information? This year at I&E, in accordance with sustainability-minded practices, there will not be printing kiosks at the conference.
- Are travel and hotel reservations in order? If this is still required, go to the I&E Travel and Hotels page today. Rooms are going fast!
- Am I going on the NAFA Shuttle? The Shuttle requires a reservation, which can be found here.
- Do I have suitable attire for the sessions, the Fleet Excellence Awards and Opening Night Celebration, the Expo floor, and the Habitat For Humanity charity effort? With this, have I checked my favorite weather service to determine what the weather will be like when I’m there (and if I’m packing appropriately)?
- 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 I decided what sessions I’m planning on attending? The online Detailed Program can help with that.
- Have I decided what exhibitors I’ll check out at the Expo? Map Your Show has got you covered there.
