Make the Most of Your ITC Vegas Experience
Check out our top tips for a smooth and successful ITC Vegas!
1) Bring a good pair of walking shoes.
Between the show floor at ITC Vegas and enjoying all the amenities at Mandalay Bay, you will get your steps in! Bring a pair of shoes you know you can walk in for the duration of your stay.
2) Stay hydrated.
ITC Vegas is full of networking and learning, making It is easy to forget water. However, Las Vegas is in the desert, which makes it even more important to drink enough! We recommend carrying around a refillable water bottle – or grab one of the free provided water bottles on-site, courtesy of CAPE Analytics. (P.S. – a refillable water bottle is just one of many ways you can be more green at ITC Vegas!).
3) Know when registration is open.
We are here to help get you checked in and answer any questions along the way! Make sure you know when registration is open to ensure you can grab your badge.
MONDAY, OCTOBER 30
TUESDAY, OCTOBER 31
WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 1

4) Dress to impress.
Pack clothes that you would be comfortable wearing all day that reflect your personal and professional brand. We recommend bringing layers since the rooms vary in temperature.
5) Build your schedule.
We recommend using the ITC Vegas mobile app to build your schedule. This is the best way to keep track of time and know where to go for the sessions of your choosing.
