With only 11 (!!!!!) days til Digital Parents Conference<\/a> I thought I\u2019d do a bit of sharing & linking up to some posts I\u2019m finding really useful in my own prep for the first blogging conference I\u2019ve attended.<\/p>\n

For the last couple of weeks, Twitter has been buzzing with the topic of clothing and what people are wearing to Digital Parents Conference. Especially this dress<\/a> (nicknamed the condom dress).
and then there was this comment by the lovely Tina of Tinagraydotme<\/a><\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

puts it into perspective a bit. I remember reading somewhere, I can\u2019t for the life of me think where though, that you should dress in clothes that are you and are something that you are comfortable in.<\/p>\n

What am I wearing? Ah, that will be a surprise. In other words I have no real idea yet but I have some clothes picked that all coordinate so I\u2019ll pick on the day. Thanks to my awesome mum I have a few new outfits for this trip \ud83d\ude42 (love you mum!)<\/p>\n

Being a blogging conference, of course tech will be a big thing to bring be it laptops, iPads, smart phones.<\/p>\n

Nikki at Styling You has a great Geek girl guide: what to take to a blogging conference<\/a> and Danimezza has a list of 10 things to take to an event<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve made my list of what I\u2019ll take & I\u2019m hoping it\u2019ll all fit in a great little bag I bought on eBay last year for my iPad<\/p>\n

\"dpcon<\/a><\/p>\n

1. my iPad (obviously) & iiNet mobile wireless (case<\/a> by Belkin Australia & stickers by FollowMe sticker<\/a>)
2. Bluetooth foldable keyboard
3. pens
4. a blank notebook
5. business cards
6. some mints (not pictured)
7. makeup bag
8. camera and spare batteries
9. backup power for iPad & iPhone<\/p>\n
