I went to my first PSW back in March in Boston….and as Scott noted above, I did find myself jotting down little tidbits that were not in the books (which are huge and loaded with great info)…but each instructor has their own “special” tips that you have to catch ‘em when you hear ‘em….and jot them down…Also….I brought a backpack with wheels ( I’ve had cervical surgery so carrying heavy things is not an option for me anyway) but seriously, the book is HUGE, add water, snacks, camera and other incidentals ( leaving room for things you may buy along the way at the Expo)….it’s a life saver……Oh,.. a tee shirt, your most comfortable ripped up jeans, flip flops and a wrap or sweatshirt are all you need….uubbber comfortable

Thanks for the great tips Syl! I tried to find you, but no luck. I was however editing some 360 panoramas I shot at PhotoshoWorld and I think I may have captured a shot of you. You tell me.

If you have a backpack, throw your camera in there. If your lens is too big to fit, then by all means carry it openly so that all the other gearheads will be jealous. Most people leave their big cameras in a safe place and sport cool pocket cams during the day. But, Vegas is Vegas and you’ll see a bit of everything at PW.

Thanks for the great tips! I am very excited to attend PSW!

One question: I plan on bringing my camera to document the event and shoot in Vegas. How many people walk around with big SLR’s at PSW?

Great list of tips!!! But number 5 – note taking. I have been to 4 previous Photoshop Worlds and have found most instructors add material and tips not in the 900 page book. The book is great, but if I did not do some note taking, I would have missed some info.

Have a great time!

And oh yes – casual. Blue Jeans all the way for me.

Dawn – Keep in mind, we’re talking about photographers here. For many, business casual means jeans without big holes… Black tee-shirts are also considered business casual by many.

Great tips! This will be my first conference.

2 questions: Business casual or jeans? What’s a cheap place to eat?
