Well ok, I guess this is primarily targeted at anyone who was planning on bringing a backpack. I'm sure I can fit what I need for a day in a bag this size as well. But any "normal" backpack is going to be 16-18 inches tall and too large for the UN. This is what I have used at previous conferences because it's what I happen to have and I've seen plenty of others with backpacks as well so I thought it was worth a warning. And while my laptop bag IS on the large side, it is by no means an unreasonable size to grab as a carry-on for an airplane ride and expect to use at the conference once you get there. Again, I've certainly seen 16-18" briefcases and laptop bags at other conferences so it is worth double checking.
