Conventioneers

  • Remove badges when leaving convention area.
  • Walk "smart" when you leave your convention site; know your destination and the best way to reach it. Travel along sidewalks in lighted areas at night, and don't walk alone.
  • Establish a "buddy" system with another delegate to the convention, share schedules and check up on each other periodically.
  • Build your awareness of unknown surroundings by reviewing information on the community you are visiting (included in your registration packet), especially maps and guides.
  • Jackets with pockets provide a convenient alternative for women to reduce the chance for lost or stolen handbags.
  • Lap top computers are attractive, easy targets for thieves. Be sure your lap top is in a secure place.
