Going to a day-long seminar or even a week-long conference? You need to be prepared to be away from your home base over a period of time, function appropriately within the conference environment, and stay healthy, well-fed, and alert throughout your experience. You also have to make sure you have the tools you need to access the instruction or information you will receive.

Well before you attend, you need to gather basic information about the event. Don't wait until the day before; you may find you need materials and supplies that you can't get at the last moment. Find out exactly where the seminar or conference is being held make sure you have specific, up-to-date directions to the facility. If you're coming in from out of town, either by plane or by car, consider renting a hotel or motel room for the night before, as close to the facility as possible, even if you're attending a single-day seminar. This way you'll be able to avoid a stressful, time-consuming commute the morning of the event.

You may also need to access your email or voice mail, or connect with your company's website. Many conference and seminar facilities have both dial-up and broadband Internet access for its conference participants; check with the conference sponsor or the facility if you can. If they don't have this capability, chances are your hotel or motel will, especially if it caters to business clientele.
