Can you believe it’s almost time to join us in sunny Orlando for The One Show to Attend? Before you hit the road or board the plane, you’ll want to make sure these items are in your suitcase. Plus, read until the end to find out how you could win a fantastic prize just for packing your bags!

1. Comfortable Walking Shoes
With over 5 miles of exhibit space that you’ll undoubtedly want to visit, a pair of sensible walking shoes comes in at the top of our list of must-have items for Global Pet Expo attendees.
2. Wearable Fitness Tracker
Not quite as essential as the comfy shoes, but it’s always fun to bring a wearable fitness tracker to the Show. The steps sure rack up quickly when you’re walking through the miles of aisles that make up the Show Floor.
3. Business Cards
You’ll mix and mingle with countless individuals throughout the Show. Make sure your new connections have a way to follow up on the business opportunity you discussed at the Networking Reception by packing a stack of your business cards.
4. Laptop or Tablet
Whether you’d like to take notes during Global Pet Expo Academy or connect with your new network of industry contacts on LinkedIn, consider bringing a laptop or tablet to enhance your Show experience.
5. Warm Weather Essentials
When you’re ready to soak up the sun and explore the lively city of Orlando, consider packing a swimsuit, pair of sunglasses and light, breathable clothing. Sunscreen and a refillable water bottle are also recommended if you plan on spending time outdoors. Golfers are encouraged to bring their clubs, as Orlando is known for being one of the world’s best golf destinations!
