Yeah, we'll have badges waiting for you. Just bring yourself. We'll even provide a pen and notepad (among other goodies).
Our "seasoned veterans" sometimes bring an extra bag for packing away all the materials and samples from the exhibitors. If you have return address labels at home, you might think of bringing those, too. saves you a lot of writing at the booths, when you are signing up for more info.
You'll receive an emailing a couple of weeks before the conference with directions, times and tips. No need to pre-regiter for sessions.
RE: taping. Our PTO Today staff/speakers won't mind. For other speakers, I'd suggest you ask them if they mind as the session begins. It will be up to them.
