The 2025 WBENC National Conference is just around the corner—and whether it’s your first time or you’re an experienced attendee, you know it’s the place to be for women entrepreneurs, business leaders, and corporate changemakers. With four full days of inspiration, innovation, and intentional networking, making sure your tech is ready will help you get the most out of every moment.
Here are seven quick tips to help you prep your gear like a pro:
-
Update & Back Up
Ensure your phone, tablet, or laptop is fully updated and backed up. A surprise software update during a session or a tech hiccup could throw you off. Better safe than scrambling!
-
Organize Your Apps & Files
Clear digital clutter and organize key apps you’ll use—LinkedIn, event platforms, note-taking tools (like Notion or Evernote), and your calendar. Create folders for the conference agenda, speaker bios, and any must-read materials.
-
Power Up & Pack Smart
Bring all necessary chargers, a portable power bank, and maybe even a multi-port adapter. Hotel outlets can be scarce, and a dead phone mid-networking moment can throw you off your game.
-
Polish Your Digital Presence
Update your LinkedIn profile making sure your headshot and bio are current and reflect your personality and double check any links to make sure they’re still working and current. Don’t forget to check your email signature for old phone numbers or job titles too.
-
Create a Contact QR Code
Make networking seamless by generating a QR code that links to your contact info, LinkedIn, or digital business card. Tools like QR Code Generator, Blinq, or HiHello let you create one in minutes—so instead of fumbling with phones, others can just scan and connect.
-
Download the WBENC Mobile App
The WBENC app is your conference command center. Once available, download it to check in, view the agenda, receive real-time updates, and find your way around the venue. Trust us—it’ll keep you on track and in the know.
-
Give Your Screens Some Love
Take a moment to clean your devices before you go. Use a microfiber cloth with a bit of screen-safe cleaner (or a 70% isopropyl alcohol solution) to gently wipe down your phone, laptop, and tablet. Bonus: clean screens make your selfies and Zoom calls look 10x better.
