Hello everyone! I am looking forward to seeing so many of you at In2Leadership 2026 this coming week.
As you get ready for the event, here are a few helpful tips on what to pack so you can stay comfortable, confident, and ready to make the most of the experience.
- Conference Attire: Business casual works well for all In2Leadership activities. Consider items like blazers, dresses, collared shirts, blouses, or a "coatigan" for easy layering.
- Footwear: You will walk more than expected, so comfortable walking shoes, flats, or boots will be helpful during long days. Plus, remember to bring your boots and join us on Tuesday, April 28, from 5 – 6 p.m. CT, for the Best Boot Forward Networking Happy Hour.
- Evening and Casual Wear: For time outside of scheduled programming, pack options like jeans and a light jacket. Nashville style tends to blend a relaxed feel with a bit of country and rock and roll.
- Essentials: A portable charger, business cards, and a refillable water bottle.
- Weather and Venue Considerations: Meeting rooms can be cool, while downtown Nashville can be warm. Dressing in layers will help you stay comfortable in both environments.
I'm also curious, what are the one or two other items you'll pack in your suitcase that you must travel with? Comment and let us know!
Happy packing and looking forward to seeing everyone in Nashville.
