Planning a Seminar - Be Ready for Anything with an Emergency Resource Kit

Whenever I work on an event, I bring my own box of items I think might be necessary on-site that others might forget. Here are some of the things I include:

• Aspirin


• Band-aids


• Breath mints


• Cough drops


• Duct tape


• Envelopes


• Extension cord


• Flash drive


• Hand sanitizer


• Highlighters


• Kleenex


• Laundry stain remover


• Memo pad


• Mini-Screwdriver


• Name tags


• Packing tape


• Pens


• Permanent marking pens


• Power strip


• Rubber bands


• Safety pins


• Scissors


• Scotch tape


• Sewing kit


• Shipping labels


• Staples and stapler


• Sticky notes


• Swiss Army Knife

In case of any emergencies, you should also bring along a list of contacts for the venue, technical set-up and staff back at the office.
