I woke up early Monday morning to go for my run on the Boston waterfront only to find that I had brought two LEFT tennis shoes. I was afraid this was going to set the tone for my 2010 INTA trip but quickly adapted and attended my colleagues Pilates class that can be done in socks!<\/p>\n<p>Since many trademark and domain professionals are at the INTA Annual Meeting this week I thought\u00a0 I\u2019d offer up some practical tips and tricks for annual meeting survival.\u00a0 This isn\u2019t my first INTA rodeo; I have now attended over a half dozen of them and have learned through my own experiences and experiences of others that there are a few things that help you survive what can be a whirlwind few days!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Sleep:<\/strong> Don\u2019t plan on getting much.      Meetings start early in the day and the receptions go late into the night      &amp; wee early morning hours. Drink an extra cup of coffee &amp; use eye      drops so you keep that fresh look!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Shoes<\/strong>: Finding the perfect INTA      shoes that can go from morning until night can be tough. I have watched      both men and women hobble throughout the conference center due to the      wrong shoe choice. Form over fashion wins out here. Switch your shoes up      rather than wear the same pair each day.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Exercise:<\/strong> If you get off your      normal routine, you will likely still get plenty of walking in whether you      are running to a committee meeting, visiting the exhibition hall or      trekking back and forth from the conference center to your hotel.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Name Badge<\/strong>: Please keep it flipped      so that everyone can see your name. We are here in Boston with 8,300 + of our closest IP      friends that we may only see once or twice a year. Everyone is tired &amp;      name recollection can be tough. Help a friend out!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Business cards:<\/strong> Come well stocked      and always keep them handy. You have the opportunity to network and meet      with so many people and will want to stay in touch. I keep my cards in the      pocket behind my badge.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Food &amp; Drink:<\/strong> Pace yourself.      Have you have been booked with two breakfast meetings back to back, a      coffee meeting, lunch, cocktail hour, dinner &amp; then a reception all in      the same day? Makes for quite the food intake in one day. Pace yourself or      you will suffer a food coma.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Network:<\/strong> Focus on meeting new      people. I have made some great friends through this conference over the      years and I look forward to seeing them each year. This is such a great      place to get away from the day to day and enjoy the people you work with      all year long and don\u2019t often get to see.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul><\/ul>\n<p>Do you have any INTA survival tips or experiences to share? Help us all become wiser for INTA 2011 in San   Francisco by commenting to this post!<\/p>\n<p>If you are still in Boston, please stop by the CSC Booth #512 to say hello. We\u2019d love to see you! Best wishes for a successful and fun 2010 INTA Annual Meeting!<\/p>\n<p>Malia Horine<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.cscglobal.com\/\">Corporation Service Company<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My 2010 INTA experience started off with two left feet\u2026quite literally.
