The venue will provide linens, towels, and toiletries, so if you’re flying in, you can pack light. Besides your laptop and charger, extension cords are always helpful to have on hand! The venue's Internet has gotten an upgrade since our last visit, but if you own a WiFi hotspot, it might be a good idea to bring it along just in case. Lastly, don't forget to bring your favorite board games, card games, puzzles, or other fun activities for the evenings!
