First Timer’s Guide to TISE Pack for Every Occasion The International Surface Event (TISE) is more than just a tradeshow. You'll be attending education sessions, meeting potential clients, attending special functions, networking on and off the show floor and hopping from one exhibit to the next so it’s important to pack for every occasion. If you've ever been to Las Vegas, you know that the weather can be somewhat unpredictable so be sure and check weather listings before you leave. That said, Vegas is a real trendy, glamorous city. Be sure to bring professional, but comfortable (and breathable) clothes. Also, it's all about the shoes. You're going to be doing a lot of walking. If you can manage it, you may want to have a change of shoes on hand at all times. Your feet will thank you, we promise. You should also pack a reusable water bottle. The air in the convention center, and around Vegas in general, is very dry. You’ll need to stay hydrated.
Check Your Flight The airways in and out of Vegas get a little busy in January due to so many large business events which happen during this time. Delays and cancellations will happen. Keep a close eye on your flight times leading up to your departure for TISE and always keep copies of your flight confirmation on hand just in case.
Know Your Hotel Be sure you know the complete name of your hotel. There are a lot of hotels in Las Vegas and there are only a certain number of hotels in our Official Housing block. Keep hard copies of your hotel reservation confirmations on hand.
Driving If you are planning to drive around the Las Vegas area during TISE, consider using alternative forms of transportation instead. Parking around the convention center and hotels may be limited, making it difficult to get around. Taxis are available abundantly in Vegas; check with your hotel concierge for Taxi services. They may even offer complimentary hotel Shuttle service within a certain number of miles.
