Ladies, make sure to bring a small bag. A cross-body bag is perfect if you plan on exploring the city/shopping. It not only helps with not packing a large purse and having to lug it around, but having your money close on your body is a safety plus!

Subject: What to Pack for In2Risk 2025 in New Orleans
So, your suitcase is open and you are trying to figure out what to bring to New Orleans for In2Risk.
What to pack?
- Business casual attire is appropriate for all sessions and events throughout the conference. Some people like to dress up a bit more for the conferment ceremony and receptions, but this is entirely optional and not required! Remember that your attire should reflect you as a confident risk management professional. <u1:p></u1:p>
- The meeting rooms always seem to cold - layer up in your favorite cardigan, blazer, or light jacket.
- Footwear - make sure you have comfortable walking shoes for both the venue and New Orleans. NOLA is an old city and the sidewalks and streets are sometimes rough.
- The weather looks to be a little chiller than normal, ranging from low to mid 50's to high to 60s and low 70s. Bring appropriate outerwear if you will be going on the Jazz cruise or plan to explore New Orleans and the surrounding area.
- Don't forget your running or exercise gear if that is in your plans.
- We would love to hear additional recommendations from past In2Risk attendees or New Orleans/Louisiana locals! What are your top packing recommendations? Any insider tips for navigating the conference or the city? Please share your advice below!<u1:p></u1:p>
