And, there were the ongoing operational and project handoffs.

Next thing you know - it’s Saturday and Cisco Live is here.  You’ve missed out on checking twitter, or listening to podcasts, or reading your favorite blogs. 

Admit it - you just got to take a breath and have no idea what to pack or to expect.  Here’s a summary of mine and fellow #CiscoChampion tweets, some blogs, and some #CLUS (that’s Cisco Love) pages.

Trip Packing Tips

  1. Bring a light jacket or heavy shirt for sessions. May be 113F/45C outside but inside below 70F/52C!
  2. You know that dry heat? Two words: chapped lips.  Don’t forget your favorite lip balm.
  3. Can’t leave space for bringing swag home? Pack empty soft bag to check on return flight.
  4. Gunning for lots of t-shirts? USPS Priority Mail has free box is cheaper than checking a bag.

General Conference Tips

  1. Get the CL app - Shuttle schedule, conf maps and your schedule in app! http://www.ciscolive.com/us/attend/attendee-info/#mobile-app
  2. (Courtesy @CiscoLive) #CLUS registration opens TOMORROW [Saturday] from 3-7pm. Pick up your badge a day early to beat the lines. Reg. will be open 7am-7pm on Sun. - Some years miss the mark or have technical issues so you want to try to get registered at off time (not 7am!)
  3. Take a session to expand your bag of tricks - BRKEWN-3000 Analyzing and Fixing Wifi Issues
  4. Be engaged in your session, ask questions, and answer them. As bonus, some speakers give free books!  Or, UADP chips (courtesy @petergjones)!
  5. Download the session PDFs for your sessions now via #CLUS Session Catalog. Avoid 20k #Wifi d/l at start of session #Oof
