We're generating a list for first time event attendees. We find it often helps to ease the nerves a bit when we know what to expect, are prepared and have great tips from friends who have been there, done that!

So all you Event Attendee Veterans....

What would you recommend to first time event attendees to:
1) BRING to an OH event 2) NOT BRING to an OH event?

So far our Facebook Fans have listed:

  Megan said "Bring a sweater!"

  Kris said "Money to buy the body shaper garment"

  Janet said "1) A great sense of humor and a big bag for your samples! 2) Don't bring too much stuff cause you'll have double to take home."

  Crystal said "1. Bring a dress and your dancing shoes! 2. Do not bring a bad attitude, be open to meeting new people and having a blast!"

  Valerie said "I just bring my party animal self and my clothes. Laptop. Which doesn't get used. A dressy dress for the party. Casual stuff to wear during the day. My vitamins go anyplace I go. I usually book an extra couple days at the hotel so I can see the city where I'm going."

  Sarah said "Empty space in your suitcase to bring back all the goodies!!! If you have a dressy dress, fine but please don't feel obligated to dress up just BE THERE!"

  Sarah said "A BEFORE picture!!!"

  Ann said "Wear comfortable clothing & sensible shoes. Don't bring protein snacks because there's a bunch of samples to be had"

  Don said "Bring a positive, friendly, open-minded attitude. Do NOT bring a book - with the first, you'll be SOOO busy meeting/talking/doing things with new people, the second will NOT be necessary."

   Deb said "Of course your camera but most important - bring yourself. Yeah, extra suitcase space is nice but even better? A little notebook to write down the contact information of all the new friends you are going to make."

  
What would you add to the list?

  A big congratulations to our "I'm Here, Let Me In" Event Ticket Winners!
