The ultimate packing list for NerdioCon 2025
NerdioCon 2025 is almost here. Whether you’re a seasoned NerdioCon pro or joining us for the first time, packing the right mix of essentials and extras can make a big difference.
To help you get ready, we’ve narrowed it down to seven key items that will set you up for success both on and off the conference floor.
1. The NerdioCon app
Before you even step foot in Palm Springs, make sure to download the NerdioCon 2025 mobile app on the Apple or Google Play store. It’s your go-to guide for the full agenda, session details, speaker bios, resort map, and real-time updates throughout the event. You can also build your personalized schedule, connect with other attendees, and get notifications about can’t-miss moments.
2. Laptop and charger
With 40+ breakout sessions and hands-on labs, your laptop is your NerdioCon MVP. Bonus points if it’s stickered-up with your favorite tech logos.
3. Swimsuit
There are 41 pools at La Quinta. That’s not a typo, so you’ll want to be pool-ready! Who says networking and great ideas have to only happen inside scheduled sessions?
4. Theme party outfits
Grab your Palm Springs best for the welcome party and casino night chic to close out the event in style! Lean into it. The photos will be worth it.
5. Comfortable business casual wear
You’ll be walking between sessions, chatting with Microsoft executives and fellow IT pros, and maybe even hitting the golf course. Look sharp but stay comfortable. You’ll be spending a lot of time moving around!
6. Sunglasses and sunscreen
It’s Palm Springs, so expect plenty of sunshine. Protect your skin and eyes while enjoying the resort and outdoor activities.
7. Something to take notes with
Whether it’s a sleek tablet or a classic notepad, be ready to capture key takeaways from sessions and conversations.
We’ll see you at NerdioCon 2025
NerdioCon is more than just a conference—it’s a gathering of the brightest minds in IT, and packing thoughtfully helps you get the most out of every moment. With this list in hand, you’ll be ready for learning, networking, and sunshine. See you in Palm Springs!
