Some general conference-going tips, borrowed from other conferences:

* Label your laptop charger just as you would your luggage -- use a
luggage tag, or stick some adhesive tape on and write your name on that.

* 5-2-1 rule: each day of the event, get at least 5 hours of sleep, 2
real meals, and 1 shower.

* Each day, spend 30 minutes outside the venue, doing something that has
nothing to do with the conference.

* If you are overwhelmed or tired, it is OKAY to go back to your room
and nap.  You can't catch everything.  Don't wear yourself out.

* Searching for recent tweets about Wikimania:

* Thank the volunteers when you have a chance.  They make this work.
