Not sure if this is the right place to post this, so feel free to move it mods if not, but I'm off to the IAB Seminar in Birmingham on Thursday, I dont know if any of you are going also? But I haven't the foggyest on what the etticate is, what you do there, what to take, what to wear... AHHHhhhh!!!
When in doubt i always dress smart/casual and take a bag with me, I.D., business cards if you have them, any info you have recieved on the seminar and notebook/pens/pencils, and just the usual stuff you may carry about your person.
Not been to an IAB one, but in my experience siminars are usually a smart-casual affair. Some attendents dress up (suit + tie etc) , I usually wear a shirt and smart trousers. The one's I've been to have never stipulated an actual dress code though.
There's normally a range of exhibiters relating to the profession, software providers, PII providers etc who you can have a chat to - normally very informal with no hard sell.
This is normally followed by the main event, presentations, updates, lot's of power point slides, speakers etc.
I'd take a clip board/writing pad for taking notes. Obvioulsy if you have an iPad this is ideal.
Have fun!
