WHAT TO PACK:
You will want business casual for the conference; however, a lot of the upper-end restaurants and clubs will expect you to be dressed in at least “formal” business attire. Bring a good pair of walking shoes if you plan on sightseeing.

Although this is, of course, at your discretion, you may want to consider packing a few of the items within the sites below. In addition to your up-to-date passport, airline or train tickets, and extra Euros, it might be helpful to bring copies of hotel confirmations, maps and directions from the train station or airport to your hotel, and a sheet of paper that contains contact numbers to report credit cards or traveler's checks lost.
