Staff Travel Hacks:

• Stay Up! We recommend staying awake as long as possible on your arrival day to help with the time adjustment.
• Be Aware of Sun Differences. The Hawaiian islands’ closeness to the equator leads to stronger ultraviolet radiation than most people experience. It’s vital to take precautions like wearing hats, sunglasses, clothing with UPF protection, and using eco-friendly sunscreen to defend against sunburn and illnesses related to heat.
• Stay Hydrated! Drinking water will help you adjust and stay energized.
• Protect yourself and the Environment: Hawai‘i has some of the strictest sunscreen laws in the United States. Bring only mineral sunscreen with you or purchase sunscreen in Hawai‘i. Consider wearing a sun/swim shirt or clothing with fabric that offers UV protection. 

Bring Your Own: 

• water bottle
• tote bag
• lanyard (it should have a clip at each end that can fasten onto the style of badge in use)

You can pick up tokens at check-in to make donations to native Hawaiian community organizations when you bring these items from home.

Don't have a lanyard with a clip at each end? We will provide ones we hope you will keep and use at future conferences!
