Subject: RE: COMMON advice
Justin, I'll offer some practical advice for any conference as it's your first.
1. Treat your feet well. Wear comfortable walking shoes. You'll do quite a bit of running around over the course of the conference, plus airports and mucking about downtown at night. Whatever you do, don't bring brand new shoes and break them in there. On a related note, I always pack twice the socks I'd regularly need because I do a mid-day sock change and sometimes again before heading out at night. This is number 1 for a reason. Your feet will fail you before anything else.
2. Attend the events. Mixers, socials, parties...whatever you want to call them. Don't hang out in your hotel room when the sessions are over for the day. The people you meet and the stories you hear are worth the price of admission alone.
3. Go to some sessions that are way outside your comfort zone. The great thing about all these sessions is that they'll offer you plenty of perspective.
