My CES Gear Bag and Advice

January 6, 2010 By 28 Comments

So, I’m here in Las Vegas gearing up for the start of CES 2010 tomorrow.  Since this is my 2nd year attending CES, I wanted to share with you some advice as well as what I’ll be carrying in my gear bag to help keep me connected without creating unnecessary weight.

If you can’t view this video, check it out over on my YouTube channel.

    When you get a chance can you share some links to the gear you mentioned in the video?

    I'm thinking it's a bad idea that I *just* started packing… I got all of my gear (computer, Kodak Zi8, Digital Camera, etc). I'll just have to make do with the rest of the stuff.

    Hope we can catch a few minutes to chat about your book and bringing you on the podcast soon. Release is in Feb. right?

    I appreciate your insight into what you need and don't need. I am looking to come to CES in 2011, so I am looking to build my gear bag early and test it out throughout 2010! I would love to see product links as a few might have mentioned so far!

    Thanks for the A.B.C. plug. Looks like you're all set for CES and SXSW. See you soon.

    Thanks for the helpful tips. I think folks would enjoy hearing the story of extreme workshifter Mike Marlot. He actually ski’s Mt. Everest, and I think he takes less gear then you take to CES. Oh yeah, he also manages his accounting firm while on the mountain. Very cool stuff.

    I’ll post a link to his amazing story on Twitter.

    Enjoy CES!

    I am not one to carry this, but some would suggest to bring a little bottle of hand sanitizer (purel). Also, we will get you some tungle.me business cards for people you meet at the show that you want to reconnect with post show. Hope you are enjoying the show.

    Yikes! I’m not buying it that @justinlevy fits all of that gear in his bag: http://idek.net/vLp

    Great idea Marc! I carry hand sanitizer in my regular gear bag.
    Unfortunately I forgot it for my CES bag.

    The biz cards sound cool! Cheers!

    I would advise managing message selling, let me explain. You can get a video professionally produced for about $47.00 97.00 (30-60 seconds) showing your top-notch desk drawer slide. You can even try how simplified it is to destroy your competitors and blast it around over 100 internet video sites for as little as $5.00 per site to be done manualy!You can get keyword inquiry done for you professionally, identifying the keyword phrases that will get you a decent amount of search volum, yes with shorter competing pages. Thank you for this article! I’ve just found a easily true news site about how to get rich Try it!
