Meeting planners are awesome travelers; sometimes, even our awesomeness surprises me. I used to have this client who could pack for three months of Arctic travel in a rollaboard with room left over for a parachute, a chainsaw, and a motorcycle…. but not all of us can be Karen…
No matter how good I am at getting my stuff from point A to point B, there is always something I can do a little better. My strength lies in packing my electronics; you would be amazed and bewildered at what came out of my backpack.
- Professional video camera
- Digital SLR and lenses (Usually three lenses)
- 1 or 2 laptops (Always the PC, sometimes the Mac)
- Kindle (I like my book reader not to be a tablet)
- iPad or Google Nexus (or both)
- Power do-dads for the above items (Ugg)
- A notebook (Yep, notes that will go into Evernote)
- A couple of magazines (Inc, Wired, or Rolling Stone)
- Headphones (Kicking out the jams)
- Microphones for the video camera (A must-have)
Despite being able to pack my electronics like some demented puzzle freak, my weakness is my rollaboard…I can never get my clothes quite right…
This leads us to this video, which has some excellent packing hacks. Packed (pun intended) into a space of just a few minutes, there is something for everyone.
