THINGS AND
TO BRING
BRING:
1. AN EXTRA BAG One word, two syllables:
samples. Between ISPA’s famed Room Drops, items
included in the Registration Bag and samples given out
on the Expo Floor, you’ll likely be heading back with
more than you came with. An extra bag, like a duffle
you can store in your bag on the flight to Vegas, will
come in handy.
2. PRACTICAL SHOES
Hey, we all like looking good, and yes, those shoes are
very cute. But you know what aren’t cute? Blisters. Be
kind to your future self and bring a good, dependable
pair of comfortable shoes that you can easily switch to
throughout the day. Your feet will thank you.
3. YOUR I.D.
You’ll be required to have your I.D. (such as a driver’s
license or a passport) on you to be admitted to the
Welcome Party on the first night of conference. Don’t
leave your room without it!
TO LEAVE
AT HOME
DON’T BRING:
1. A BATHING SUIT
The Welcome Party may be taking place
at TAO Beach, but that doesn’t mean that
it’s going to a sun-and-swim affair. Attire for
the event is smart casual, and there won’t be any
swimming. You know that game where kids pretend the ground is
lava? Well, the pool is lava.
2. MOISTURIZER
I know, I know: we all work in spa and moisturizers are our best
friends. But you’ll be at a spa conference—before you even realize
your hands are dry you’ll have a dozen different moisturizers to try
out. And besides, isn’t test-driving new products half the fun?
TOP TIP Restaurant reservations can fill up fast; it’s
recommended that you make reservations well in
advance. Book extra seats and use it as a challenge to
make new friends and invite them along, too.
