The typical 4 days at Data Cloud Summit can get seriously hectic without proper planning, especially with the excitement surrounding you. If this is your first trip to the Data Cloud Summit and/or San Francisco, here are some useful tips on planning your journey to Data Cloud Summit 24 as an attendee.
Packing Tips
What to pack? It’s not just about what to wear. Here’s a list of items to consider:
- Smartphone: It’s always with you anyways. However, take the time to load up the mobile event app. It won’t be available for registered attendees to download until approximately two weeks before the event. You’ll get an email when it becomes available. Ensure your phone is ready to go with useful apps to get around San Francisco, make payments (Google Pay, Apple Pay), and follow events (X/ Twitter).
- Multi-port USB Charger: To charge multiple devices at a time. Carry additional cables and laptop chargers. Make sure they are all portable.
- Business Cards: A lot of them. Let everyone know who you are.
- Walking Shoes: Moscone Center is quite the complex and there will be a lot of walking as Data Cloud Summit are spread over multiple venues. Wear comfortable walking shoes.
- Business Casual attire: The most common question is what to wear to Data Cloud Summit? The dress code has always been business casual. Look your best to feel your best. You certainly don’t need to go too formal or too casual.
- Umbrella: It is San Francisco.
- Backpack: Snowflake sometimes has small knapsacks that are available to carry items. It will be enough to get around with. Leaves some room for swag – it is Data Cloud Summit.
- Pen and Book: Your phone’s battery can die. You might want to consider writing down your schedule but also have this handy for the sessions you’ll be joining.
