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.
