7 Packing Tips For a Beach Meeting

Gulf Shores & Orange Beach

Ensure you have the right attire & equipment for your next beach meeting in Gulf Shores & Orange Beach with these sevebn tips on what to pack.

February 24, 2022

Unsure where to start when it comes to packing for a meeting at the beach? Some items may change depending on the season in which you are traveling, but we’re happy to share some ideas regarding a few staples you will want to bring to ensure you are comfortable and prepared.

The Lodge Ballroom
Sweater or Jacket

Even if you are visiting our beaches during the summer months, venues may provide meeting rooms and venues that are set a bit cooler than is comfortable for you, so an extra layer is a good idea. You may also need a sweater or jacket if you are visiting in the fall or winter. Although our weather is pleasant year-round, it can get chilly on the beach in the fall and winter months!

Comfortable Shoes

Oftentimes, conference sessions will roll into networking events that roll into dinner. Pack shoes that can be taken from day to night and, most importantly, that are comfortable.

Reusable Water Bottle

Since you may not know beforehand how often water breaks will be offered during your meeting or conference, it’s not a bad idea to bring a reusable water bottle that you can fill. This may be especially handy if the meeting takes place in an outdoor space or near the beach.

Gulf Shores Beach
Leisure Clothes

You will likely have some downtime before or after your beach meeting, so be sure to pack comfortable clothes for exploring the area. Thanks to our subtropical climate, our beaches can be enjoyed even in the fall and winter months. Get out and relax on the oceanfront! 

Laptop or iPad/Tablet Plus Charger

This may seem like a given, but these items will come in handy during breaks and when you want to read or catch up on your notes. Oh, and don’t forget a phone charger! 

Business Cards 

You never know who you may meet at an event, so carry business cards in anticipation of any possible professional connections.

Snacks

You can’t have too many snacks available, especially during a jam-packed day of conference sessions and networking. But be sure to pack healthy and easy-to-eat choices such as granola bars, nuts, and dried fruit.

With all of these items in your bag, accompanied by a positive attitude, your next beach meeting in 2022 experience is guaranteed to be a BREEZE!
